BW,

Loved your Achem's razor analogy with TK as the example. I couldn't possibly have said it better myself. Thanks for stating it so clearly.

It's getting hilarious. At this point in this thread, we have TK urging the identification and treatment of a root cause instead of symptoms. Yet in earlier threads regarding terrorism, he was all about treating the symptom - killing terrorists - and dismissing identifying and treating the root cause of what causes people to become and commit terrorist acts against the U.S. It looks like our own forum genius, TK, is a practitioner of, if not believer in, situational logic.

TK,

Earlier in this thread you stated that, "single motherhood is as preventable as AIDS." You allowed for no exceptions, indicating that every woman can know with absolute certainty whether she is entering into a relationship with a potential jerk or abuser. Even then, you weren't allowing death or dibilitating disease as exceptions. Your use of absolutes - were certainty does not and cannot exist - discredits the potential value you might add. Hence, that's why when you claimed you're an interesting person, I disagreed and suggested you're really just an entertaining pompous a$$. But it's just the choices you make . . .

Sincerely,

Salmo g.
