Brainwashing, huh? Does that include ridiculing those who have the mental (in)capacity to suggest that foreign carriers flying into U.S. airports are "immune" from our security regulations?

There is no rhetorical or debating rule concerning responses to arguments with no merit. In other words, nothing requires that absurdities be treated as "valid" arguments.

Furthermore, while we are on the subject of debating technique . . . one should not expect to be taken seriously in a universal sense if one presumes to make absurd, throw-away comments such as the one above. In summation, if one expects to be treated with respect, then one should make comments worthy of respect.

I saw a black (I'm not kidding) UH-60 fly over Algonquin, Illinois at approx. 1700 local yesterday. I'm not sure whether it has anything to do with the NAU, but who really knows?
