Richard Girard is an increasingly radical representative of the disabled and disenfranchised members of America's downtrodden, who suffers from bipolar disorder (type II or type III, the professionals do not agree). He has put together a team to prosecute Bush, Cheney, et al., but has given up waiting for his credentials, and fully expects either the United Nations or Spain to beat him to it. An autodidact, he has read more than 3000 books over the last 35 years, on subjects including history, mathematics, political science, economics, sociology, anthropology, psychology, philosophy, women's studies, physics, martial arts, science fiction, and art. He is still editing Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason, trying to make it comprehensible to someone who is not a Rhodes Scholar. It surprisingly calms the worst effects of his bipolar disorder, acting both as a sleep aid, and helping to keep him out of the funny farm.

It is a duty we should be taught from the cradle, and be reminded of until we are in our graves. But we must beware of error, of mistakes made through wrong perceptions and wrong information. We must also learn to express ourselves clearly to all, and not only to those who believe what we do.

This maybe the op-ed equivalent of a "shaggy dog" story, where you tell a big long tale with no punch line, and then tell a second joke whose punch line is also the punchline for the first story. It may appear to be a lecture on dialectic and philosophy, but in reality, it is a a paen to the value of diversity in thought and respect for all of humanity.

I continue the discussion of my next wish with my Fairy Godmother. This time, I go into the briar patch of taxes, and escape with my hide mostlyintact.
