Faile to do so again.  Thanks for mking my point.  iYour statement
above was not what this thread was all about.  It started out with
Harry Brogan indicating that he had painted his Bob trailer and
characteristically you diverted the conversation into a political
topic of your liking by objecting to the color scheme, stating ... You
should have painted it red, white and blue in memory of all those
MIA's from the Korean and Vietnam Wars.

Your  "All things are equal" remark is so perplexing as to incite
hysterical laughter precisely because the assertion originates from
you ... an well-established myopic "visionary".  Wander of course you
say?  I reply to your questions and comments (even some of you
diversionary tangents) whereas you deliberately fail to do so even
when I repeatedly point out that you have failed to respond with
obvious intent to undermine any possibility of dialog when you are
uncomfortable with the direction it has taken, employing diversion in
an effort to unen***ber yourself from issues raised.

Debate is dialogue.   "Take it or leave it" opinion" is monologue.
Thanks for making my point.

Now why do you suppose that is?  Well, because Tom undoubtedly
realizes that you are, as you have indicate in the past, all about
opinion (monologue) and refuse to debate an issue (engage in
dialogue).  What are you afraid of other than being made out to be
wrong?  In a recent post, Tom indicated that you are wrong about most
things.  He's right of course.

You won't because you would find yourself disadvantage by ineptitude.
Regurgitation of your time-worn opinions is a poor substitute for
argument.  Rpetitious monologue does not constitute dialogue.  You are
tedium in the extreme.  I guess you forgot that Tom Sherman, one whom
you hold in high regard (when you aren't insulting him that is), and I
had quite a debate going sometime back.
