Hi Andre, I would enjoy having a conversation with you. But I'm so ignorant that I don't understand your criticism based on your "critical thinking." Since you are a fan of such thinking, perhaps you could use step-by-step logic to make your points to someone of my limited mental capacity and provide some evidence to support your assumptions about my support of this or that. I know it's difficult for one of your superior skill in symbolic manipulation to express yourself to someone of my ineptness. But if you would try to lower yourself to my level, I would appreciate it.
