If you assert that none of the items on my list are valid...
...I guess that makes it so.
I didn't answer to your post above because it was filled with assertions of what the opinions of "the left" are that I don't hold to be true. I try to avoid those silly arguements that boil down to me arguing from my point of view and you asserting over and over that there are big bad leftists who really do hold those opinions. I don't want to talk about those "leftists'" opinions. I want to talk about mine.
