BH, can you explain the difference between what Ben Mack does and magick?

[Jenne]

Jenne I think I'm with Jon re:bush
He was the frat boy common man checkpoint for government, if an idea could be explained to him and accepted then the entire country would shallow it.

Yeah, I think I can see that as being the majority of his decision-making, along with the "God speaks to me" part.

Maybe he did hear voices, if I recall the tinfoilers used to say Nixon thought his dog could talk to him

Maybe he did hear voices, if I recall the tinfoilers used to say Nixon thought his dog could talk to him

One day, while Nasreddin was visiting the capital city, the Sultan took offense to a joke that was made at his expense. He had Nasreddin immediately arrested and imprisoned; accusing him of heresy and sedition. Nasreddin apologized to the Sultan for his joke, and begged for his life; but the Sultan remained obstinate, and in his anger, sentenced Nasreddin to be beheaded the following day. When Nasreddin was brought out the next morning, he addressed the Sultan, saying "Oh Sultan, live forever! You know me to be a skilled teacher, the greatest in your kingdom. If you will but delay my sentence for one year, I will teach your favorite horse to sing."

The Sultan did not believe that such a thing was possible; but his anger had cooled, and he was amused by the audacity of Nasreddin's claim. "Very well," replied the Sultan, "you will have a year. But if by the end of that year you have not taught my favorite horse to sing, then you will wish you had been beheaded today."

That evening, Nasreddin's friends were allowed to visit him in prison, and found him in unexpected good spirits. "How can you be so happy?" they asked. "Do you really believe that you can teach the Sultan's horse to sing?" "Of course not," replied Nasreddin, "but I now have a year which I did not have yesterday; and much can happen in that time. The Sultan may come to repent of his anger, and release me. He may die in battle or of illness, and it is traditional for a successor to pardon all prisoners upon taking office. He may be overthrown by another faction, and again, it is traditional for prisoners to be released at such a time. Or the horse may die, in which case the Sultan will be obliged to release me."
"Finally," said Nasreddin, "even if none of those things come to pass, perhaps the horse can sing."

It isn't.  It sure is OUTLANDISH, though!

He strikes me as a RAW type noob. Maybe he'll snap out of it.

I doubt it.  Pinealism has a very low recovery rate.

A man who's been legally ordered to stay away from Sarah Palin is causing a new wave of concern in Alaska -- after federal agents learned he plans to visit Sarah's home state in the very near future.

Sarah Palin has federal agents protecting her. a stalker.

WTF?  She's a private citizen.

The fact that he has made very few posts that didn't end up referencing RAW in some way seems to indicate he is too far gone to be converted.
