No, and no.

I was not placing words in your mouth. You can pretend otherwise if you like, but that will not make it so.

When I said you claim him to be the anti-Christ, that was a combination of how I see people use the term, and how you describe him (which is consistent with how I often see people use the term). I understand that you have chosen to feign insult here, and you have the right to do that if you wish. I have acknowledged that you see the term anti-Christ to have a very specific meaning, which somehow is slightly different from your occasionally apocalyptic view of President Lawnchair.

From others I would see that as a strange way to brush off an explanation. Being as you make it your standard m.o. to not read texts fully before hitting reply, it fits well with your behavior here.

The rest of your illogical gibberish isn't worthy of additional response.

...Pelosi meant that he doesn't get it, I think she meant that he doesn't get that it's over. That the sun has set on American republicanism, and it only serves as an irritant, as that of a buzzing fly, to prattle on as if there were any going back.

Completely disagree with Bill there. Literature is completely lost on children, and is a big waste of their time. Like things like economics, it should be higher education only, and just prepare the yutes with the three R's so they can function in society. And I would say teach critical thinking, so they can protect themselves from being ripped off (in the various ways; i.e. not just financially).

What's sad is that college is wasted on the youth. Like I suspect the vast majority of college grads in the last few generations at least, it was to just get through it. People complain that college is now viewed as vocational training but I don't think it's even that. I think it's predominantly viewed as just to get that piece of paper, that so many jobs (often unnecessarily) require.

But now that I'm more grown-up (okay, only slightly, since college), I could totally see myself in retirement (voluntary or involuntary, however it turns out), when I actually have the time to pursue such things, taking the time to read the great works of literature et al. That is, the time to truly consider all that flowery language and ponder it. But while we have busy lives, most of us just won't feel like we have the time for giving ourself a truly higher education.

No, they didn't. Oregon acted as the systems integrator and overall project manager. Oracle was the main contractor but not the integrator.
