Most of my articles consisted of trash, self-defense against malicious attack, and face saving in the advent of such attack. I intend to submit three or four brief articles summarizing new material that I presented in my articles. This is NOT to be construed as an apology to Gary Samuelson. Repeatedly this man has deliberately twisted my words, uttered lies about me, told the world what my position "really" was. Those who want to peruse the 2000 lines or so of rebuttal are welcome to examine the times where Gary told everyone repeatedly that I assumed that there was no deity (my many postings on many religious issues contradict this), where he deliberately excerpted sections of my articles to twist the context. I started out trying to answer Gary's extended rebuttal, realizing that he was responding (again) to an article that he had already responded to many months ago, but the more I read the more frustrating it became to sift through both Gary's presumptiveness (he often said things is such a way that it may have been obvious to him what point he was making, but it certainly wasn't so obvious to me) and his word-twisting and lies. -- "Does the body rule the mind or does the mind rule the body?
