ken/fl: You are about as "Fair and Balanced" (and as patient) as they come...I think it's wise to steer the thread back to more serious Foreign Affairs discussions after November 2nd. -s2@HopeYouHaveAGoodWeekend.com

After the election and the court challenges* are over, we will return to using the stricter definitions of ON/OFF TOPIC as listed in the header.* <VBG> Very insightful, though the lessons learned from Florida have removed chances of asking for recounts.

Now here's an instructive (and recent!) example: :o) Typical pinhead nonsense..... This is easily identified as name calling. Jean Francois Kerry is a pompous, lying, traitor and gigolo.....by any measure.... This, however, is OK by me. It is a simple statement of opinion about some third party or outside situation. Each reader simply chooses the weight to assign to it: from 0.00 to 1.00. I suppose I do feel that it is baiting the reader and in that light should be considered inflammatory and not really a discussion, but, oh well... Any questions? --fl
