I see, when one consistently sticks to the truth & can support it with hard facts, and he applies sound logic & reason to create his POV, it is justifiable to malign & personally attack him rather than discuss/debate him on equal terms....... or so it seems to be....... on the occasional times when I have offered a differing POV on certain issues on this thread. "Minds are like parachutes; they work best when open." - Lord Thomas Dewar "The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. The opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth." - Niels Bohr (1885-1962) Men occasionally stumble on the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened. - Sir Winston Churchill Flattery makes friends and truth makes enemies. - Spanish Proverb A lie travels round the world while truth is putting her boots on. - French Proverb They begin with making falsehood appear like truth, and end with making truth itself appear like falsehood. = William Shenstone (1714 - 63) English poet "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." - Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) Faced with the choice between changing one's mind and proving that there is no need to do so, almost everyone gets busy on the proof. -John Kenneth Galbraith The failure to recognize the distinction between heresy and conspiracy is fatal to a liberal civilization. - Sidney Hook (1902 - 1989) American philosopher & educator "When I tell the truth, it is not for the sake of convincing those who do not know it, but for the sake of defending those that do." -William Blake "Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph." - Haile Selassie No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible. - Voltaire Opinion has caused more trouble on this little earth than plagues or earthquakes. - Voltaire "People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid." - Soren Aabye Kierkegaard (1813-1855) "Where are we going, and why am I in this handbasket?" - Bumper Sticker
