I only look askance at those who cite their charitable work as a club to "prove" their superior knowledge of a particular facet of society. I admire Feuser for his work with the elderly..........and I'm sure he has far nobler motives than obtaining my approval. |

I am not trying to "prove" or legitimize my opinions by throwing around "credentials". I mentioned it to provide specific context to the question of voter ID requirements.
I believe that I have seen examples where what seems trivial to us becomes a huge burden to many people in fundamentally different circumstances (age, health, personal background). The outright dismissal of this fact does touch a nerve, and I apologize if my reaction was too aggressive.
That's all. _________________ florian - ny22

From the man who used "junk science", the haven for disgraced tobacco company "scientists" as an authoritive source, comes this renewed commitment to careful research:
Quote: | If you regard the regurgitation of other people's opinions by a rookie, as an authoritative piece of work on a complex topic, feel free to do so. Most people, including me, would not. |
But you don't know what it is, do you, mrgybe? |

No, the angry gnome feeds on the bits that are quoted by the few not-yet plonked posters. Only then does he look behind the curtain and cough up some vitriolic screed. _________________ florian - ny22

Don't be fooled. He reads them all.
His ego demands it.
His claim to have "plonked" certain posters is just another lie. |
