Hinted? At least I don't seem to have stated explicitly that I can read your mind....which of course I can't possibly do. And of course, neither can those who accuse the loudest.

It took what seemed like a very long time to get you to explicitly state your justifications for certain views..except for 'statistics'... and several- including myself- offered competing statistics that we felt pointed to different conclusions about what *ought to be done*.

If I at least managed to 'mostly' confine myself to debating 'rational solutions', I am glad. I do hope YOU see why those who disagree with you get so intense about it.

You did finally explain that you had a different 'world view'... which is a different discussion in itself. I spent years filling my head with different views about pragmatism, utilitarianism, hedonism, communism, democracy, monarchy, ... and all the variants on each one. It is an interesting exercise to imagine what would change if somehow any of those systems were adopted totally by some society or country.. (Most systems are an amalgam, no matter what they call themselves.)
I can only wonder why you...or anyone... with a minority view came to their position. Simple 'facts' are not usually the deciding factor.... we humans can't always explain our decisions.
