>>John, the issue is that you use these predictions as part of your argument. IMO, a passive-aggressive method....
And you can't rebut the predictions, so you personalize? Yawn.
Tell you what: quote some specifics of your own and I'll consider responding. The constant personalization isn't particularly original and has no more impact on me today than on all the previous occasions when you reverted to it.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
