So, I have the right to opine, except here and now?

Is that it?

I just keep mulling over this 'tactical mistake' argument.

It just isn't logical.

To argue this is to argue that surrender is the right course tactically.

It sounds downright French, as an argument.

You definately have a right to opine. I'm just amazed that you and nopardons being so adamant that Keyes will lose.

None of us know the future to that degree-do we?

Repeat it often enough-you've left no room for a possible mistake on your part that you could be slightly wrong.

You have the right to opine however you like. But if you were trying to impress a girl, you wouldn't opine that her cat is detestable, would you?

It would be a tactical mistake.

"I have the right to" does not imply "I ought to".

That's right.

Last night was different. Now, he's accepted the nomination. I argued against the Iraq war, right up until the first shot was fired. At that point, the arguing's over, and it's my/your duty to shut up, and get with the program.
