Who is interested, desperately, in winning this little discussion here Barry? My God, just admit it - you were wrong. The only reason anybody, including me, is ribbing you about it is because we know what a lousy sport you are and how you just can't ever quite admit that you are off base or wrong. Get over it, man. This whole discussion is of such paltry significance you would have been much better proving the Doc, or at least me, wrong by laughing at yourself just this once. Instead you insult Jim and go off on some tangent about how different Europe would be in its response to terrorist acts than those dumb shit Americans.
