Lighten up, Francis. Have you ever heard of using exaggeration to prove a point? FYI, Rush does it all the time.
I've been to a lot of debates myself over the years, to say nothing of "vigorous discussions" with people in school or at various social occasions, and I've never exploded - it doesn't help your side of the issue. However, I'm sure that my blood pressure would have risen quite a bit if I'd heard that leftist, statist beotch say what she did.
