Jay,
I am amazed that some people take ownership of truisms and act as if nobody else agrees. It would be as if you turned up stating "The world is round! Watch out JR, you're gonna fall off the bottom there!"; and should I dare to question your presentation of the concept of gravity, you made out I was denying that the world is round and that the clashes you then provoked with multiple passers-by actually proved that you are a scorned prophet who was the only one who ever knew the world is round... and then you gathered disciples who loved you for your foresight and genius! It is a gift, I tell you.
Regards

"... 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
