God, if that were really the case, then there would >be little need for debate, or any sort of discussion group at >all. Think about that. I think about it all the time. I love a good debate. I do not like to start vicious arguments by saying something that really starts a flame war. If something I say does so, then I will gracefully tell them "PHhhFFFT!!"

Hmm. I suppose I'm well past the heifer days... I guess I'm a dried up old milk cow.
