It ain't either. These are equivalent to ad hominems, STOP DOING IT. Sheesh.

If you prefer the European Union, something may be arranged.

I am aware of a scientific Theory of Intelligent Design that would be more consistent with our nations founding precepts as well as what we call reality.

Two men become stranded on a remote island. As they explore the island they come upon a sandcastle with towers, buttresses and a drawbridge. The design of the castle is amazingly intricate.

One man comments, "It is amazing what time and the ocean can create. The small rocks and seashells on the shore must have got caught in eddies and swirled around and chiseled out that castle. There were a few palm leaves floating by that scribed out the little lines that look like bricks. We are alone and there is no need to consider anything else."

The other man looked at him incredulously and said, "No, that castle was created by another intelligent being with a clear intent of design, we are not alone."

Bondserv, evil existed long before evolution. Spartans killed their "defective" babies.

"Democracies fall when the electorate find out they can vote themselves the treasury." We have held out a little longer because we are a Republic rather than a Democracy and our representatives are more aware of the Wizard's First Rule (I know you like the SoT books :o) ).

We need to reverse the popular election of Senators and that will make us slow down a little more as well. And, above all, we have to reduce government.

We'll just need to agree to disagree...
