Is it just me, or do other people want to see this two hold a 3 race
contest?

Dave:
   
               There are socialist, fellow travelers, others, who
acknowledge their political agenda.  Then there are those who publicly deny
an agenda and vehemently claim their apolitical nature.  However, when
challenged, they boldly assert no one has the right to challenge their words
except to the extent that they permit.
	It appears that Bill believes that everyone should have the right to
say as
they please, as long as it's consistent with what Bill believes.
	If you search the archives, Bill has a track record of making
statements
allegedly factual but the facts he cites are really a statement of another
not supported by accurate and reproducible references.  It becomes a fact
because Bill says so.
	Now we have Bill creating meanings to words where the word means
what Bill
says it means.
	Understand that is the methodology of an Anarchist, using the
accepted
classical definition as used during the 20th Century.
