The statement says he 'insignificant', but then states he is 'dangerous' ...

If he is insignificant, then he cannot be dangerous ..

If he is dangerous, then he is, by implication, significant ...

Love ya Manny ... Keep'm coming ...

Great post, Manny. You really hit home as you can see from somr of the response here. JDPriestly Nov 2015 #78

At what you call satire? That could be correct. MADem Nov 2015 #94

Such a sensible post ... tex-wyo-dem Nov 2015 #97

And full of gravitas ibegurpard Nov 2015 #104
