msj Posted February 23, 2010 Author Report Posted February 23, 2010 Ummmm. No. I'm trying to impress on you what I was responding to. ( back at'cha.) Your words stand on their own. My words stand on their own to the extent that one actually has the capacity to understand what has been stated. I shouldn't have taken for granted that you are capable of having that capacity. Quote If a believer demands that I, as a non-believer, observe his taboos in the public domain, he is not asking for my respect but for my submission. And that is incompatible with a secular democracy. Flemming Rose (Dutch journalist) My biggest takeaway from economics is that the past wasn't as good as you remember, the present isn't as bad as you think, and the future will be better than you anticipate.

You can go on about this for the rest of eternity, but I'm done. Have a great life getting what you can't get in Canada in the U.S. ....... "God bless the U.S.A.!" Quote

Sure, god bless the USA if that's you're thing. A little bit of miscommunication sure brings out the cranky in you, huh? Next time I'll try and be less subtle, less sarcastic and more literal and see if you approve.
