My ideas are just that, my ideas. I throw them out and maybe even try to persuade people that I'm right. But I'm not going to pound folks over the head with them until they accept them all. I'd be a pathetic fool, not to mention a crashing bore, if I tried.

As for the education of America, your points are well taken, but do you really expect to come here and presume to educate US? And then pitch a fit if we don't roll over and swallow your line immediately? We're all clever little boys and girls here, we know when we're being patronized and talked down to. Oh yeah, we'll discuss and even argue with you for a while, as long as its fun, but you don't seem to know when to quit. You're a man with a mission, and you seem to be determined to inflict it on us.

Well, I've stopped responding to your little provocational thread-openers, and lately, I even cut way back answering direct challenges from you, but you just don't seem to get the hint. I don't agree with a lot of topics discussed on this board, and sometimes I even join in and take sides, but I don't feel obligated to pounce on them any and every single time any are brought up. To me, your politics are just anomalism, like Bigfoot or Atlantis, a hypothesis I don't take too seriously, and one I might even challenge occasionally, but I am certainly under no obligation to disprove them just because you demand it. I don't respond well to demands. You seem to find that simply unacceptable. Well, I'm sorry.
