I have been following this thread religiously since it's inception, albeit silently. And today, I am compelled to say this to "_____": I am quite impressed -- through and through -- with not only your perseverance and resilience; but also your ability to articulate your arguments with an admirable degree of RESPECT and politeness to your opponents. Then, you have a sharp taste of REASON and LOGIC to add icing to the cake! BRAVO!

I also fully concur with most of what you have had to say!

Most of the others' arguments seem to be borne out of sheer ignorance. They say ignorance is bliss; but when one tries to use it as a tool in an argument, it becomes a curse!
