The other day I had an encounter and conversation with one of the Dummies. I didn't get the DUmmie's name. Nor did I give the conversation much thought until I read formerlurker's thread here:
I found an interestling line in the ConstitutionNow I'm beginning to think that I may have had a conversation with jmowreader.
Below is the conversation in traditional DUmmie dialogue format. It's word for word because as a fictional spirit-guide I remember these things.
FlippyDoo: Can I ask you a question?
DUmmie: I know you. You're that right-wing spirit-guide that sometimes hangs out with the Cave dwellers.
FlippyDoo: I'm not just right wing. I'm part pigeon so I've also got a left wing. Anyway can I ask you a question?
DUmmie: Yeah. Go ahead. I've always wanted to school me a right-wing spirit-guide.
FlippyDoo: There is something that is not mentioned in the Constitution. It's very polarizing. Many are strongly for it and claim it's a right. Many are strongly against it and claim it is not a right. Many call for it to be banned. Many oppose even talk of banning it. Many say that it is issue best left to be address by the individual states. Many say that the federal government should deal with it. An entire money-making industry is built up around it. It can very rarely be used to save a life, but when used it almost always takes a life. Without naming 'it' are you for or against banning it?
DUmmie: I know what you're talking about, but I'll play your little game and not name 'it'. My answer is that I'm for banning it. No, it's better to say that I am VEHEMENTLY FOR BANNING it.
FlippyDoo: Good. Thanks for answering. Now can you tell me why you are for banning it?
DUmmie: I've been waiting for this. I get to use your right-wing memes against you. Wait until I tell the folks at DU how I schooled you. First, if it's not mentioned in the Constitution that you people love so much it can not be a right. That right there is reason enough to ban it. In addition, life is sacred. If it rarely is used to save a life but almost always takes a life it should definitely be banned. The fact that a money-making industry of death has been built up around it just adds to its bannableness.
FlippyDoo: Okay. Thanks.
DUmmie (laughing): I can't wait to read the responses on DU when I tell them how I schooled a spirit-guide on semi-automatics and assault weapons.
FlippyDoo: Wait a second. Who was talking about semi-automatics and assault weapons?
DUmmie: Uhhh. You were. Weren't you?
FlippyDoo: Semis and assault weapons really don't fit the description I gave. You see, the Constitution mentions the right to keep and bear arms. Semis and assault weapons are arms. Also, they don't fit the description of rarely being used to save a life but almost always taking a life. These weapons save a lot of lives. Sometimes just the bad guys knowing an individual has these weapons can save said individual's life. They also don't almost always take a life. Many people have been shot and survived.
DUmmie: So…umm…what were you talking about?
FlippyDoo: What you are 'VEHEMENTLY FOR BANNING' is abortion. Let me know how much the Dump cheers you when you post about how you schooled me.
