Thank you for your kind and reasoned post GUEST.....some people can see no further than their fixed ideology, it is set in stone and defended with sword and fire......any deviation from it is regarded as treason.

The amazing thing is that many of these people boast of their educational qualifications, whilst never exhibiting any vestige of rationality.

I have almost no formal education, but I question everything especially my views on controversial subjects.
There are some fine and knowlegible people on this forum, but few of them are from the area of liberalism which demands complete authority over thought and speech.
