What creates inflation?

[Lacewing]

It was only after sifting and winnowing that I realized my mistake.

And if you keep at it -- sifting and winnowing -- you will realize MANY MORE of your mistakes. All of which you keep ignorantly bombarding everyone with in your stupefied loop of looney-ness.

Now you know that can't be right, Bob. How could I have any envy of someone who I think acts like a Major Ding-Dong? There's just something about you that seems to deserve a smile from a green face. I can imagine some other emoticons I'd like to use, but they aren't offered on the forum.

I already told you (which you've conveniently "left out" above). You only hear and focus on what supports the beliefs you want to cling to. Very dishonest, narrow, and obviously self-serving of you, Bob.
