That was a good post by betty_boop.

Mine was not quite as articulate ;-), but was an attempt to convey the fallacious of the dichotomy of “you Catholics” vs. “we non-Catholics,” or vice-versa, when it is erroneous to attribute homogeneous beliefs to either set, and overreaching to claim knowledge of the specific beliefs of any individual member.

I guess that was garbled, too. Oh, dear, a strange cat is here to taunt my petz.

I love the photo of Frank with the sockmonkey. Mr. trisham gave me a sockmonkey yesterday because I love the Kia commercial. :)

You nail two fallacies here, Tax-chick!!! {They would be [1] and [2] above.} And hardly in a "garbled" fashion!

I can't generalize about "strange cat" phenomena, beyond noting that, in my experience, they can be interesting. :^)

A delight to hear from you. (BTW, I 'm thoroughly enjoying the Sowell you recommended!)
