Okay, to exhaust this part of the topic:

I suppose the coincidence would simply have been too much.

Still, as a liberal I have to consider your opinion, so I do. As a conservative, you have the advantage of being able to be true to your principles by deliberately not considering any other point of view.

This is not well thought out. What is here instead is an expression of prejudice -- your unjustified belief that conservatives must somehow never be intellectuals.
Commentary,
The World Jewish Review, and
National Review all demonstrate just how unjustified that view is, monthly or quarterly.
Now there is the situation that in this forum what is written and read is the end product of years if not lifetimes of thought, and not the process or the development; you don't see any of the points at which a given idea was weighed and then accepted or rejected. This produces spaces between positions and philosophies, and some careless accusations of closedmindedness get thrown around, sometimes rightly, sometimes not.

BTW, I'm not anti-gun or pro-gun, anymore than I am anti-car by agreeing that people should have drivers licenses before commanding the ability to cause a catastrophe.

Tolerable, but less strongly anticrime or antigenocide than my approach to it.

As for my sanity, you can probably ask Wolf. . . Since this has never resulted in my making her acquaint[a]nce in a professional capacity, I must have met at least some minimal standard of sanity.

Well, yeah, you have -- I can tell as much by reading your posts, you know.
I really don't think I'd have to check with Wolf. Wolf likes me, btw.

Maybe you should meet her. Just make sure she has time to pack the long sleeves 'just in case'.

Hee hee hee -- I'm a good sport. :p
