Patricia:

Indeed they do make outrageous statements more often than not. And we
should argue with them or at least politely point out when they assert their
opinion is a matter of proven fact. I certainly hope folks point it out to
me if I state an opinion and assert it is a fact.

However, please do not set my house on fire or threaten me with bodily harm.
I only have this one house and it isn't even mine! Additionally, this body
ain't much, but it's all I've got, now that the government is on the way to
banning human cloning. ;-)

Tongue set in cheek, where it belongs when not playing a clarinet,
Patricia Smith
