You guys all think I'm on one by now; some people like Mike or myself are vocal about things we may later regret. My problem, it seems, is premature inclusion of misleading non-information as premises for argument (I'm a victim of continental philosophy), but scientific facts, like carbon dates or climate models, are NEVER distorted in my posts. My difficulty is with legal citation, it seems. So, facts and some fallacy, but not shams and lies... . WIKIPEDIA IS NOT A RELIABLE SOURCE oF INFORMATION, though. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
