I do not see a false dichotomy. Either we remove him while the opportunity has presented itself, or we are powerless to act or comment on future heinous actions he perpetrates. LOL. You should have added a smiley to that. You just offered a perfect example of a false dichotomy.

I have known to many people in my life who had all kinds of ideas of what the leadership should be like. How true. It's easy to say what you would do if you were in other peoples' positions. I'm sure if I were in Cosmic's positin I could run his life a whoel lot better than he's doing it. <g>

<Either we remove him while the opportunity has presented itself, or we are powerless to act or comment on future heinous actions he perpetrates.> False dichotomy. We could do neither or both. We could be powerless in the future. We could be unsuccessful at removing and have the power to comment and act later. These are logically independent. That IS false dichotomy. <When you are not in charge and your tiny sphere of influence to act is called on (support for the current actions), you are found lacking the gumption.> Two for one special. Ad hominem. Appeal to authority. So much for respect for ideas held by other free men! Classic. That, is arrogance.
