Well, that's quite a mouthful to respond to! You are UK, Scumbria is an American in UK for the moment. Baldur is in Iceland, Ray Duray is in Lala Land, and it seems like there are a few Canadians out there. Maybe it's not a lot. I preach to everyone to do his own thinking. I try to do my own, which allows me to converse with people who have ideas that are markedly opposed to mine. Sometimes I even become friendly with them. Rich4Eagle and I have become friends, for example, although we still disagree on almost everything except the value of friendship. I like to read editorials and occassionally I write letters complaining about an editorial position. When I find an editorial that mirrors my own thinking, I think of it as validation but not as a source of my opinion. I think people who have to mimic what they've read are not truly educated. I'm not going to delve into jla's posts. Some of them are reactions to a position he finds indefensible. I believe he is simply frustrated with them and reacts rather than let them pass. When he offers a piece of his own, it is usually concise and correct. I just read your profile, and learned that your degree is in mathematics. That is a difficult field for me, and I am mostly just a cookbook mathemetician myself. My sister is a mathemetician; her company is working on algorithms that draw conclusions about homeland security from internet traffic and such. I just finished reading the John Nash biography "A beautiful mind." I thought the Nobel should have been awarded to his wife for putting up with him. Are you that difficult to get along with? As for executing regimes, I guess we Americans have refined that to the point where the character is assassinated but the body lives on.
