#183, I would not lose respect for him he is a great Journalist, and a Nice Human Being that has suffered a lot Physically. He just gets things wrong sometimes. Maybe later on he will revisit his position on this matter. He has been very wrong many times before as in his harsh Condemnation of Mel Gibson, and "The Passion of the Christ", which broke all previous Box Office attendance/receipts records.
You can probably tell from my tag line that I agree with your position on such issues... <g>
