Larry, you are correct in saying that very few opinions will be changed
as a result of the debating that is currently raging withing this group.
The reason that I debate isn't that I am interested in converting other
people over to my way of thinking so much as it is a way for me to defend
my views when they are challenged. It is a way for me to validate (at least
to myself) those stances which I have taken and believe in. I feel that I
learn more about myself through the course of these discussions than I learn
about the sparring partner.

With that said, back to the playing field...

Know what? I've got my opinion of which one or more (if any) of the
above is valid. Most of the readers of this whole thread know what it
is. They also know what their own opinion is on all three. I suspect
that nothing that anyone said here changed the opinion of anyone. Still,
I do like to hear myself talk, and I do like to throw out statements
that set everyone else off, I did both those things, so by my
perspective, this debate was successful. :-)

Nothing will change and I'm sorry I set it off. Keep debating though...
