you're welcome CarolC

...by the way, your current or most recent imbroglio on another (infamous) thread, which out of principle I refuse to post to...

(not that you needed it, but...) I was in full support of your decision to deal with the situation/attack as you saw fit. Based on your posting history here at the Mudcat, I can't see how anyone could fault your rationale or logic. Time after time you have demonstrated your cognitive reasoning abilities to be flawless and airtight.

Idealogically, people may disagree with you on principle, but they will never win an argument with you because you launched a debate from weak, illogical premises.

I have said it before - if only our elected leaders gave as much sensitive and thoughtful consideration to the problems that confront us today as you do, we'd have less quarrelsome differences with them, even though we may not agree with them on all ocassions. At least their approach to resolving problems would emanate from some deeply held convictions (and from the heart) - and it's hard to argue, let alone triumph, against that. Part of the problem today is nobody believes in anything anymore.

Perhaps you should consider a profession in law. I know that if my civil or constitutional rights were violated - and that possibility seems to increase with every passing minute - I'd want you in my corner defending me.   

You have a beautiful and admiral mind.
