Re: "Three out of six ain't bad."

>>> (Wasn't "two out of three ain't bad" from "Paradise by the Dashboard Light"?)

"...Of course I could argue that Jefferson and Franklin enabled the rape of the wilderness that you otherwise decry,"

>>> Nope, don't think I've specifically done any of that 'decrying' here :)

..."and were slave owners to boot."

>>> Noted. Not approved of, then or anytime.

"And Einstein enabled weapons of mass destruction."
