A scholarly and well spoken person probably wouldn't support the 9-12 deal, and probably woulnd't yell out like a moron at a town hall meeting.

All I can argue is my view point on the issue, which I've done many times and I think quite effectively. Regardless of whether or not you want to dismiss the opposition, you can't ignore it's size and effect on the discussion going on right now, even if you really really want to... and it seems like many of you really really want to.

It seems that when one side loses an argument, it it feels a ego driven need to dismiss the other side as stupid, ignorant, foolish or even now RACIST instead of recognizing the legitimate arguments and the effect they've had.

Funny... I never thought lying was a black stereotype! I suppose the race card was bound to be played sooner or later, and thankfully most people are too smart to fall for it in such a simple cut and dry case.

What's funnier is watching people grab at straws trying to find anything they can to smear their opponent when they can't win the issue at hand.

So does anyone else have anything to add other than grand generalizations and insults?
