In reply to Philip Cohen.

Did as you suggested, and re-read your post.

No amount of slowing down the read makes the proclamations you espouse any more valid than they were during the first read. A wise man once pointed out that you can scream your point of view at the top of your lungs. The volume doesn't make you more correct.

The supposition on which your second paragraph is based is fundamentally flawed so as to invalidate anything further you have to say.

I'd suggest that ax grinding, coupled with flawed prognostication, doesn't improve the level of discourse on these topics. Additionally, thinly veiled attempts at self-serving blog promotion will inevitably backfire.
