Dear moenmac, Re: The man is incapable of intelligent discourse. Oh, come on. Let's not be silly. Of course I'm capable of intelligent discourse. What I am incapable of is appealing to your narrow-minded, selfish and increasingly bankrupt prejudices. Just as our host had to stretch credulity by claiming a free trader like Michael Wolf of the Financial Times is now part of some vast Left Wing Conspiracy, you seem incapable of expressing anything beyond the shallowest of prejudices in your posts. Perhaps it comes as no surprise to you that in comparing the numbers of citations to outside references in our contributions to SI, that I provide at least five useful URLs for every one that you cite. That's just a fact. You can't refute it. BTW, I think you'll probably fail to see the humor in this joke, but here's a variant on your "sedition" obsession that's pretty charming to some: A Russian immigrant woman, distant cousin of anarchist Emman Goldmann, comes to Ellis Island (New York) in 1908 with the crush of Poles, Lithuanians, Estonians, Eye-talians, Czechs, Checkmates, Hungarians and the Hungry. Every immigrant is faced with a stone faced immigration officer who attempts to deny immigration on the grounds of disease, mental incompetence, or revolutionary intent. The final question every new immigrant is asked is this: "Will you, by means of armed rebellion or sedition, attempt to overthrown the government of the United States?" The woman, anxious to become an American and join Emma, upon hearing this question reflected upon it for a few seconds then looked the agent in the eye and thoughtfully responded, "Sedition".
