I would say that WYSIWYG's "Aren't we smartert than that?" repetition is a oratory technique often used in Black churches {among other places}.

But if I did say that, some people would say that I was always inserting race into conversations. So I won't say it.

Of course, I'm also just itching to respond to Susan's question by saying "No".

But then I would be yielding to temptation. And, as the song goes, "Yield not to temptation/for yielding is sin/each vict'ry will help you/some other to win".

Unfortunately, a lot of time I talk to myself and then don't listen to what I said...
