     If you use an IS statement to say something, you MUST remain
inside of the boundaries of the definition of IS and IS NOT.

     It is quite possible that language and IS statments are not
suitable for what you want to say, but THEN DON'T USE LANGUAGE AND IS
STATEMENTS TO SAY IT.

     Well until we see a presentation on how Logic is useless and
without value, I doubt we will see how persuasive you can be.

     I don't think you can do it.

     I think if you tried you would make a laughing stock out of
yourself.

     People who build their futures on illogic are not sane.

     All I ask is that if you use statements that PRESUME logic is
valid and useful, then obey the laws of that logic.

     The minute you say ".... is true"  or ".... is false" you
have asserted that logic is valid because you issuing IS statements,
 
     If you assert that logic is valid and then deny logic is valid,
you are talking nonsense that not even you understand.

     The very statement "Logic is not valid" is an IS statement
that assumes logic is valid to even make its statement.

     You may know what you are trying to say, but you aren't saying
it.

     A no one else can get it either.

     Except those that like to fancy their own hallucinations of what
you mean are similar to yours.
