>>>Well daaaaaaah. You had to do all that to figure it out?<<< No. But in a country overrun with liberal judges, where it would be difficult to convict the sky of being blue, Americans have to go to extreme measures to prove the obvious. In any event thank you for your flawless execution of self-incrimination. What remains to be seen now is if you are ever sufficiently reprimanded for violating the thread rules re: no insults, personal attacks or name calling. >>>You're a real genius... <<< Putting your thinly veiled sarcasm aside for the moment, let’s get to the root of my objections. I was raised in Texas in the 50’s where I learned from a very young age that a man’s word was his bond. Where million dollar deals were frequently done with just a handshake. Where respect for friends and strangers alike, from all walks of life, was always the order of the day. On the other hand it was considered proper when morally bankrupt wrongs needed to be righted, for gloves to swiftly come off. But it rarely ever came to that and it is doubtful that that threshold gets frequently crossed in this forum. The routine acerbic behavior of people on this thread, on both sides of the aisle, is despicable and classically un-American. Ad Hominem attacks don’t win debates. They often are simply symptoms of arguments gone dry. People on this thread might want to try practicing random acts of courtesy and respect for their adversaries. It does take more talent to disagree and to persuade without using caustic language, but it is a distinct part of the old fashioned American values of respect, diversity and fairness which I, for one, fondly miss.
