Needs lots of work.

Cutesy; nice little rant, no real substance and a typical Gish Gallop start but nothing there really worth debating.

If you can revise the OP so that there is a subject and in a short paragraphy describe your position and what the issue is you want to discuss, post a reply here and I will happily take another look at it.

Re: Needs lots of work.

I think not. It is classic Gish Gallop, with over 30 unsupported assertions, each of which would require a dialog to address. Charlie has been here long enough to know that the tactic of throwing a plate of spaghetti on the ceiling to see what sticks is not a productive form of debate.
