"For starters, I think it's a mistake to try this kind of wordsmithing if the argument is meant as a serious one. If you are only casting stones, what the hell." Message 22854253 I am reminded of several Ayn Rand characters. This fellow takes the classic line of mumbo jumbo. The translation is: "Stop trying to define the terms and values of this statement! You are trying to give it meaning so you can evaluate it! All you want to do is JUDGE it! I won't play that game. Arguments cannot be pinned down like that. They mean what "we" want them to mean. If your argument is a serious one, then you must present it without any specific meanings--like Baker, myself, and the rest of us do! :-) CLASSIC LEFT WING SPEW!
