Except you have misunderstood my belief in the former. I'm saying that our ultimate goal should be to remove them, but that we can schedule such removal in accord with various factors. One such factor is the time it would take to remove them. A factor that I do not think should count is the availability of replacements. I simply do not regard everything in the Social Contract as a matter of conscience. Much of it is a matter of convenience. I am not a hypocrite simply because there are things which are not matters of conscience for me. (For example, I might insist that roast beef is better than flank steak, but that doesn't somehow commit me to never eating flank steak under pain of hypocrisy.) That's my position, it may be less absolutist than the one you thought I held. Thomas PS: I thought you said you had no interest in reading anything I wrote. Perhaps I misunderstood. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
