"But you applying these arguments to my very brief, modest post only works if, like now, you clearly put forward the arguments." Negation and falsification are important tools in epistemology, try as you might to cast aspersions. People prefer their own arguments over those of others and it should be enough for me to enjoin you to make better arguments especially in the case of an ideological divide. 'To simply cry "Slavery! Slavery!"...' That is how you have chosen to take it, perhaps because of your declared need to attach a personality to my statements instead of engaging with them as they stand themselves. "I feel like I'm fighting a battle against a thickening fog of obfuscation and misdirection." I favor brevity and a light touch over your chest-thumping menstruations. I am not a conservative, a pretend conservative, nor a blue-haired hippie freak. I make no conservative arguments, as you claim I do; I only describe the political landscape which your arguments would face. I am skeptical that one can lead a horse to water, much less make it drink, so I think it proper to simply point out why one path doesn't work rather than prescribe some other path which I could not pretend to be sure of. You can't stuff BL into one little box, so why would I deign to do the same?
