Reasoning with Zealots. <How can I reason with your flock if I have to proove Hitler an evil or Saddam or Osama who are all manifestations of worst human tendencies as comparable to accountable democratic leaders that you abhor ? > I must commend your attempts at trying to take part in a "reasoned" discussion with individuals who ask for such a discourse but who by their own creation appear to me to be "unreasonable". This recent comment by you is one of the most insightful thoughts you've had regarding the frustration you must have in trying to have a rational discussion. By the way rationalizing with a zealot is mutually exclusive. I wish you strength in continuing as it does bring to light the "other side" of the discussion. And under the light of day maybe we'll be able to understand a little better why such thought processes exist and be more capable of dealing with them. Try not to flatten you forehead to much on that brick wall !! :-) Be well, Mike
