Yeah - you have an even greater stake as it were to be properly
represented. I'm grateful you just don't go "me too!" without
thought 'cause that unfortunately is all too common when people
take alliances over free thought and it seems that you
prioritize free thought over alliance. I'm not suggested that
James is following an alliance or party-line - he is also a
free-thinker, which is one of the reasons I enjoy his posts and
thoughts on things, as I do yours. Thank you for your
breakdown/takedown/smackdown of point-by-point. I did my best
but you did far better; In a Grade-The-Teacher Survey, I give
you an A.
Separation of opinion from presumable fact is not always an easy
distinction to make and it takes continued practice. I credit
you, [1]James Ragsdale for continuing the efforts in various
subjects and I am glad, James, that you put them up for public
scrutiny as, selfishly, I always learn a little something in the
process.
A single assumption can wipe out an entire argument no matter
how strong the sense of certainty and the more we become aware
of the distinctions between assumptions and presumed facts, the
stronger all of our own arguments for [whatever future topic we
may be interested in arguing] becomes.
[off soapbox. I didn't have coffee yet, but I'm glad [2]Seedy
Johnson's response was the first thing I saw on the 'net this
morning. I like witnessing clear thinking, especially when mine
is still cloudy. Such technicolor dreams floating around up
there and I'm trying to shake them out, as entertaining as they
are]
