When you start out by implying that we all simply agree with each other, it shows that you have not spent much time looking at FR seriously. We have plenty of debate here, and people often question each other in a mature and respectful fashion. Points of view are stated on the basis of belief in something. Sophistry and "Socratic" argument will not get you very far here. State what you believe and let the chips fall where they may. You'll find out soon enough if you have any business on a forum that's intended for like-minded people to discuss events and find a safe place in a society that seems more and more geared against the values stated in our fearless founder's statement.

I also want to reiterate: Capitalization is your friend. It adds credibility and an air of respect to your writing. It proves that you have some consideration for others who choose to read your writing. I do not read E. E. Cummings because his disdain for caps annoys me. Likewise, I shall not respond to any further posts without that most basic consideration.
