There are lots of "points" made here that I don't agree with that are not. But the most common argument for the small-minded is to not address what the other person actually said, but instead concoct some ludicrous scenario, and act as though that person said it. Perhaps why you perceive "every" contrary argument as being labeled a strawman is because it is so popular among right-wing pundits, and the people who listen to those pundits tend to repeat the same arguments. Leland said nothing about having the UN taking our guns so that we can't defend ourselves, but Virgil responded as if he had. That's a strawman argument. It doesn't need to be negotiated, as Leland stated, because it simply isn't true. -- Ed Leafe -- http://leafe.com -- http://dabodev.com [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
