Both of these statements might be true. But doesn't there also come a time
when the continued thrashing of a particular deceased equine gets to be
enough?
I enjoy these debates, as well, Adam, even though I don't often participate
in them. But having an "outsider's" view of them also lets me see that
there are times when the arguments start to look like the story of the Zaxx
from Dr. Seuss. "I am a north-going Zaxx, and I always go north in my
north-going ways," followed by "Well I am a south-going Zaxx and I always go
south in my south-going ways." Shouldn't there be a point in any discussion
among intelligent people where they just stop rehashing the same stuff over
and over?
