Don, you do that too... ;-) And so do most argumentative people, specially when it comes to politics. We all have a tremendous respect (if not admiration) for our own clear-headedness and objectivity when it comes to matters deemed worthy of debate.

What I really think is that we are all just partially informed. Matter of fact, we may know less than 5% of what there is to know about it. That wouldn't surprise me at all.
