Extreme left-wing kookiness (was Self-Suffiency Acreage

A band or group 3. A companion or follower Not to pick nits, but my Websters Collegiate Dictionary (fifth edition) defines Cohort: Cohort: , n [L, cohors, prop, an enclosure] 1. In the Roman Army, one of ten divisions of a legion. 2. A company or band, esp., of Warriors. Well we seem to do a lot of fighting on this board and if two people are fighting for the same cause cannot they be considered as band of warriors, so the word Cohort in this sense might be accurate. The Independent When two people spout virtually the same nonsense or end up echoing one another's arguments in close succession on the internet, they can easily be said to be members of a cohort, and when others join in with similar philosophies but direct their responses to unrelated elements of the thread, they can said to be in a cohort as well. That cohort will, of necessity, be a different one, but one person can be a member of more than one, just as I may be a member of the opera orchestra and a member of a rock band. In this case, there are a number of cohorts in which your views give you membership participating in this thread. Perhaps you'd care to share? Otherwise, I'll be forced to disregard everything you write, as meaningless drivel coming out of a well of ignorance. So: you're happy to indicate that you are a raging, dogmatic leftist, too. I'm happy that your failure to supply credentials indicated a lack of same which might give you any credibility, so that I can abandon this thread to you, secure in the knowledge that you have nothing of value to say. |
