Yeah, sweeping statements are great fun! Of course, they do leave you open to vicious counterattacks by people who will pick holes in your arguments, point out how absolutely faulty your whole viewpoint is and how much you are in need of reassessing your entire grasp of reality, remind you what a dense, witless goof you are, and so on.

It's that kind of zesty repartee that has made these political threads such a going concern on Mudcat... :-)

Good thing I admitted to the tongue in cheek...
