Lesson # 1 when debating a door ... don't
Reader comment on item: Keith Ellison, Where Are You?
Submitted by kman (United States), Feb 17, 2010 at 23:54
How can one debate someone with their own foot crammed so deeply down their own throat that it is protruding out the, uh ...other end.
How can we build science from the basic premise that two plus two equals seven?
My humblest apologies to the "door". At least I know if I turn the knob, the way is open to the other side.
