>>Read your post again Mike. It's like the women who says 'Some of you will just disregard my statements because I am a woman.' You already put the premise out there that anyone who would want to discuss it is either partisan or is not open minded. It's a typical democratic ploy and I'm dissappointed in you. You're starting to copy the pundits...

>Before reading any other responses to this message... I haven't read Mike's message that way. To me it looks as he's predicting (or, to use a fashionable term, preëmpting) the usual backlash of "your sources are biased", "looking at the author's credentials..." etc etc, which is mostly very boring and actually leaving only the most persistent around the waterhole.
I'm with you. Sources' biases and authors' credentials are irrelevant. This is the Internet !

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
