LOL. You'll have your answer soon enough and we both know what it will be.

You can't reason with a fool.

Nah.

I can make a much stronger case for the statement that we are winning that he can for "losing", and I'm not the deputy editor of The Wall Street Journal.

I can make a strong case that you are a woman posing as a man.

If you didn't get that, my point is that you shouldn't talk about what you can do. You should do it. Otherwise, you become the 5 year old kid that says "I can do that, I just don't want to, so there!"

Some whole truths are more relevant than their subsets while others are not.
