You snip things apart and apply disjointed tautologies to each part, then expect it to fit together at the end as some sort of "proof" that the world is appeasing SH and it has to stop. The irony is that we agree on most of the individual snips you pull apart, but the snips do not prove what you say. That a buffalo and a man both breathe does not prove the man is a buffalo. Snipping apart and looking at hair, circulation and all the rest "that they both have" in isolation, comes no closer to proving that a man is a buffalo. It's just a series of individual tauts.

Our discussions seem somewhat like this:

JR> buffalos have a completely different hip joint from men.
CM> that's because buffalos don't walk on their hind legs.
JR> but men do walk on their hind legs.
CM> which is why their hip joints are different. You make my points for me.
JR> So how can a man be a buffalo if they are so different?
CM> I already said; they both breathe. And why do you say they are different? I thought we agreed about the above points.

To succeed you need to *include* the differences I identify rather than trying to explain them away or balancing them off with something different. You have to look at the whole and show how it all fits together and makes sense. You can't do this re appeasement.

"... 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
