I see him more as a devil's advocate pointing out some of the more obvious absurdities in the modern world. The world which he advocates is an abstraction which runs counter to the basic facts of our evolutionary biology and is therefore one which must inevitably lead to the extinction of homo sapiens as a species. It was our ability to evolve collectively which allowed us to claw our way to the top of the tree of sentience in the biosphere and thus establish ourselves as the uber-predator on the planet but it is this very same intelligence which will ultimately drive us into oblivion if we don't learn to use it as a collective.
I make this statement as a biologist and not as a political ideologue because political ideologies come and go in accordance with the fashion of the day. We cannot be other than what we are and what we are is a social animal.
This makes Bob and evolutionary backwater of the first degree. His ideas are without merit and his default setting of anger is directed at imaginary forces. He has mobilised himself along a open road which has no destination except his own twisted imagination. I don't think he is clinically insane, but is the best example I'm come across of a person who defines the American definition of "mad". Mad being more than angry less than idiotic.
Bill is interestingly the complete opposition. He has no hint of angriness, but definitely has the touch of idiocy.
There complement each other perfectly offering polarised views of middle America.

You don't believe it? Challenge my credentials, why don't you.

My armchair diagnosis is that Bill is probably a bona fide nutcase whereas Bob is just a common or garden moron.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but people who use smilies represent the lowest form of life.

Well, let's face it, as a resident prophet, I guess I'm the one person here who should definitely be listened to.

I'm always more than willing to correct people when they're wrong, Bob, but I thank you for your gracious invitation. People who use smilies are not the lowest form of life and are generally to be congratulated for their economy of language. The lowest form of life are actually people who use bold type and a large font to express entirely pedestrian opinions.

Smilies are a language? Well, in Australia, I guess anything constitutes a language, including farts, which you constantly demonstrate!

As it happens I have perfect sphincter control and can fart God Save The Queen in a very melodic B flat minor.

Look, I hate to be the adult in the room but you three have hijacked my thread. To the point that I don't see either one of you being able to tie you shenanigans back to the original thread topic.
Congratulations. You killed my thread.
I, I guess you're done here...so you can go now.
We can all go.
Nothing left here...
