It is common courtesy to provide links to sources when one makes a proclaimation. It's the conservagtive in me that expects people to be able to back up their assertions.

You didn't provide me with motivation.
As a conservative, I rely on motivation to propel me to action. Also, being a conservative, I don't respond to authoritative demands.
Do you only read the odd or the even posts? Just so we all know.
