Some Repubs may call some comments treasonous, which is their right to do so. And it's everybody else's right to decide if they make sense or not, which they occasionally do. Why your knickers are so twisted over US politics is a more interesting question. I mostly ignore politics, which is mostly theatre. I do what I can to make the world better in fact (as opposed to wasting energy on theory) and try to make my life, and the lives of the people I care for, better. If you read too many newspapers and watch too much TV news - both culled for the inflammatory - you can get all steamed up and get a heart attack from continuous anger and stress. Turn off the telly and take a walk. John

It is true that you may simply be pretending.

I am sure it is, although "it is well known" is normally the last defence of the crank who is talking nonsense.

You'd have thought you would have learned after such a life of stupidity.
