It was not an insult, but a clear statement of your position that makes you uncomfortable.

You compared the value of the ancient cuneiform tablets with the Declartion of Indepence, I responded that I consider neither all that valuable as artifacts, the Declaration of Indepence is only to me valuable for the spirit it embodies.

If that museum was holding both the Declaration of Indepence and the US constitution, and the choice is risking civilian and military lives or let it be looted, I still say let it be looted.

If you disagree with me on that than my assessment that "you feel differently" is accurate.

Feeling differently from that statement is worlds away from from feeling differently about the statement:

I care far more that people 5000 years from now still build their govt around the principles of the Declaration of Independence than whether they take good care of a scrap of paper sitting in a museum.

which is what you said I disagreed with in post 89.

Obviously, I agree with the latter and disagree with the former, but you knew that.
