No Hal, it is not my job to refute your positions, I am not responsible for them. It is rather for you to offer convincing proof for your beliefs, you must take ownership for them. I don't claim that all of your beliefs are wrong, some I agree with and others are just overstated to the point of disbelief.

Those supporting a minority opinion are often scandalized, as you say, but many of these people have changed the world. Darwin, Einstein, Galileo, Newton, Moses, Christ, the list is endless. These people did not use smoke and mirrors. Find real sources for your beliefs without telling us that you are privy to the thoughts of leaders, and the opinions expressed during closed testimony. The reason the off the wall websites you love to quote survive is because they need not offer any proof for their words. By embracing them you embrace their irresponsibility. It's a package deal.

I prefer to avoid discussing politics with people whose beliefs are cast in stone, and are incapable of original thought. Before you can claim to speak the truth, you must be prepared to question all your ingrained beliefs. My beliefs have been honed over a long time. They have been cherished, examined, often discarded, sometimes reclaimed. I have experienced things many could not imagine, done things no one should be asked to do. In the end I have developed a very pragmatic outlook. I'm very hard to fool.
