re: Give it up, Tom.
It's true. Your discussions bring about much amusement and understanding for us observers. Not to knock you Tom, because I think you're probably a really fun guy, but Bowser got it right about your blind spot. And he can point out your reasoning as being a bit out of whack.
And this line Bowser >"Patent that logic, and you can sell it at Republican gatherings all over the country." was a scream.
This place is genuine entertainment again, now that you're back.
