Harrekin, its a waste of time to pull together information and post it on RIU to try to convince somebody else. It just gets passed over by people that already believe otherwise or a gets a stupid one or two lines of denial. Its unreasonable to expect people to a write a reply with data and citations because time spent writing to convince somebody else, especially righties, is wasted, . Do your own homework. I do mine. This is something that I came to realize after a few wasted sessions with you and others.
I will continue to pull together some information and post it here, I do it for my own satisfaction and to give it a test to see if there are holes in the logic. Sometimes I see something posted by your conservative butt buddies that I know is wrong but don't have a good response for. It spurs me into some reading that I otherwise might not do. In this regard, I enjoy the back and forth on RIU and I post up what I find to pay back the forum. You and others will gladly tear apart something that I post that doesn't hold up. If what I write gets no replies or just some stupid responses then I feel that it got a good test. I do this for ME, not you.
Yes its a waste of time to try to convince right wingers using information and logic.
I have my own reasons. I'm under no pretense that I'm saving the world
. I write what I write for my own satisfaction and those of others that might appreciate it.
