A few days ago, I posted a simple explanation showing why/how there are two
classes of US citizens. The post was simple to read and hard to prove wrong by
argument or evidence.

Mario Goviea did not try to prove my post, about US citizens, to be false or
erroneous.

The US is the only country that has two types of citizens:
Type A: Citizens that can run for every political office in the country.
Type B: Citizens that are disbarred from running for political office.

I proved this was false in my response:

Goanet would be much more interesting to read if ALL personal attacks were
immediately 'rejected' by the moderators. The explanation, DO NOT ENGAGE IN
PERSONAL ATTACKS, would be a sufficient wake up call to the habitual
offender(s?) and those who inadvertently use it.

Goanet would also be far more interesting if some Goanetters wrote posts
without deliberately engaging in falsehoods and distortions of FACT, which I
have to waste my time correcting.
