PiMac- I was not particularly trying to insult you. You did draw a stupid equality between someone withdrawing cooperation from another- which might lead to that person's demise- and initiation of the use of force to kill that person. You claimed there was only a "semantic" difference between the two, and that simply is not the case. To claim such is idiotic, and I do not shrink from identifying it as such. If that causes you to be insulted, so be it. I would expect anyone with whom I engage in discourse does not muddle the two. I regard it as unfortunate that people did not "insult" you in your formative years so that you could have developed the capacity to formulate a coherent argument. I suspect it is to late for you at this point. <<I do to know a hanging is hanging.>> Such brilliant insight- or should I bluntly say it's an idiotic tautology and any wisdom you derive from it is purely greatness in your own mind. Rather like to a mouse, cheese is cheese- and that's why mousetraps work. For your benefit, let me simply point out that context matters. When you understand that, feel welcome to post me again- but until then, kindly don't bother. <<A life unreflected seems to suit you well. >> Talk about insults. Of course, when I "insult" you, I point out where you made an error. Agreed, I am not overly tactful in doing so. You, on the other hand, can only issue vacuous, unsubstantiated smears. <<So says her son on the Ayn Rand website.>> Whose son are you taking about? Rand had no son. As to the rest of your post, your ramblings are not worth my time to deal with. Larry
