"Your argument seems adrift from reality and increasingly resembles mere ranting."

I really have to thank you for that. I appreciate personal comments of this kind in the middle of an otherwise civil discussion. I apologize for not agreeing with you and moving on. Thanks.

I haven't made any personal remarks about you. I've just observed that you've devoted more than 50% of your comment above to argument about irrelevant topics, and that those arguments rest on inaccurate assumptions, such as the inevitable expansion of government.

Actually, it sound like he's agreeing with you. Be gracious and accept that. Good job.

[robomartin]

If that's the case. I am humbled and further apologize for not seeing it that way.
