Even after this brief exchange, we don't know each other. I am new to this group but certainly not to the world. And as for your comment about what sort of person I am, I believe -- correct me if I'm mistaken -- that you are being intentionally rude, perhaps with the implication that this "sort of person" does not deserve to be treated with respect. I will resist the temptation to respond in kind. Suffice it to say that when one side in a debate is bereft of ideas, facts, or reason, it abandons the debate and goes after whomever it perceives as the opponent. If you have anything sensible to say on this subject, off-topic though it may be, I will be delighted at the opportunity to have my views altered by a reasoned argument. The mass murder of innocent children and the inevitable exploitation of their tragic deaths by impassioned insistence on expansion of government power is not about me. I would appreciate your refraining from casting further aspersions on my character, however vague and unsupported. I will show you, as I have already shown here, the same courtesy.

But you have made it very clear what sort of person you are. You are very, very new to the group so I didn't know you at all. Now I do, at least a bit.
