90% of posters are telling you, you are DEADWRONG. This is not a great discussion. You're on the wrong side of this issue and being given the ultimate FReeper smackdown. Look at the results of the current FR poll question. Public opinion isn't quite that high, but FReepers and Americans in general are in agreement on this one.
What are you saying? That because I dont hold the majority view, that mine is not valid? Horse puckey!
My views are MY views, not those assigned to me by the majority. Were it 99.9%, I would feel exactly the same. Rest assured I am not trembling in the face of opposition. I think people like Lincoln and Churchill understood that the prevailing view aint always the right one. (Disclaimer: Pukin Dog does not hold himself to be in the same company as Lincoln or Churchill) LOL.
