GoergeH, that may be so, but I do not discuss adult topics with children. They must learn that REAL grownups do not resort to name-calling. REAL grownups ignore bratty children. It may seem snotty, but think about it. Remember the phrase "you might as well be talking to the wall"? Well, it works. It's one of the reasons my people (the Sioux Nation) have been able to slowly begin balancing modern life with ancient culture: We patently ignore those who insist on total assimilation, and soldier on in what we hold to be right, not stooping to the level of someone who is so "right" that their opponent is not only wrong, but unworthy of respect. I respect each person's worth, but I will not allow 'respectful' to mean 'pushover'.

Peace on you,
