GC, everything you have said it true. That said, this thread is specifically set up in the debate area with the understanding that it should bear some semblance to an actual formal debate. The structure of debate is generally to argue for or against a specific topic on which the participants agreed in advance. It is not meant to meander in whatever direction any one person wants to take it. All I ask is that we make a disciplined effort to thoroughly explore a single issue and then having exhausted it with reasonable depth start another debate thread delving into another area, if we so desire.
