Heartily seconded.
Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

Re: Straggler on Gun Control
Blimey! I'm honoured. Many thanks to those that nominated (it's been a while since I received a POTM nomination) and also to all those that "cheered".

AZ in my head writes: Don't call me Shirley And so on..... Thanks again.

Re: Straggler on Gun Control
Phobia of the letter U I always have had a problem putting a u in words that we in the US don't believe should have it. My grandmother was Canadian and she was the first person to teach me how to spell. Earlier today I fixed colour because spell check highlighted it. I also tend to use Theatre too. Now when you add in my fathers Puerto Rican side, you can see why I have issues with the English language. Among other things.
