Thank you for your most witty rejoinder, Musk. At least, I take it to be so, but unhappily labour under the somewhat deleterious handicap of lacking the remotest inkling of what the blazes you are on about. Still, no doubt your meaning is hyaline clear to yourself.

One or two points I continue to urge, mind. OK, so you didn't accept [tho I couldn't quite see why] my cancer/cold 'discrimination' analogy to your refusal to 'discriminate' between religions, whatever their varying effects.

Well, then: we all agree that crimes are bad things, don't we? So do you refuse to 'discriminate' between the man who rapes a helpless woman and then murders her, and a little girl in a supermarket who fancies a sweetie so hides one in her pocket till she gets outside without paying for it, so is guilty of theft {'shoplifting' as such, is not an individual offence}. I mean, they are both guilty of crimes, and crimes are nasty; so, according to Muskey logic, we shouldn't 'discriminate' between them, should we?
