No you haven't. Or if you did, you didn't understand it. You've
ignored my more pointed arguments -- about your lack of a grasp of
democratic history, for example, which shows you're sourcing your
indoctrination instead of analytical thinking -- that support my
contention, then quoted ONE LINE of my original text, and followed it
with another simplistic tirade. I reciprocated your consideration last
time out by doing likewise: after reading your post, I quoted a single
line (you had already done it twice to me by that time), but, unlike
you, instead of a tirade, I responded with a single line, sparing any
pretension of a real discourse. THIS time, I'm writing MORE, but I'm
not going to read the rest of your 6th-grade fuzzy-wuzzy view of the
nation-state and morality.
