i debated for a while whether to respond to this last post or not.
i still havent really decided.
basically, all i see in it is a restatement of where you started from, pan.
it seems to me that the refusal to engage with the positions others outline is far more negative in the context of a discussion or debate than anything even the most extreme political activist could post, so long as that activist actually listened to--or read in this case--what others say.
i am not sure that i see the point in continuing with this discussion: it is not getting anywhere and holds out no promise that it will get anywhere.
