I would most definitely be better served by staying out of politics!
I find it uncanny, however, that you are able to sell yourself a version of reality in which the reason you choose not to engage with the arguments and questions I bring is due to either me or the ideas I bring up being objectively stupid, misinformed and inane. You keep alluding to my ignorance while missing one opportunity after another to alleviate it in any way. Now you appear to have convinced yourself that I have come to hold right-wing positions, and that any discussion with me is therefore pointless. Yet I have not come to hold right-wing positions (you may wish to view my latest journal entry). If you did not wish to engage with me on the subject, why did you reply to my original comment at all?
In short, from my corner it appears that you, and some others, choose not to engage with me not so much because I am misinformed, stupid or inane (all of which I undoubtedly and self-admittedly am), but rather because I can, and sometimes do, dig up relevant inconvenient information, because I know a thing or two about the utter indeterminancy in which the social and economic sciences find themselves these days, and often allude to them, and because I am overall not as easy to argue with as a truly inane and stupid conservative in whatever LJ community you may frequent.
You don't wanna talk to me? Don't, who's forcing you. But if you claim that you choose not to do so due to me constituting a laughable opponent whose arguments deserve no attention, then, as far as most reasonable people are concerned, the joke is on you.
As a farewell gift, I would appreciate it if you did take the trouble of linking me to some material which explains why and how the FCC controls the opinions expressed by MSM, either as a whole or in specific cases. I do not observe "mind control" among the missions or strategies of the FCC.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, and good night.
