Substance-free ad hominem arguments are a sure sign that you have no evidence to support your assertions.
And life is just too short for exchanges like that. I’m think I’m done with this discussion. It’s funny how subjects like these bring out the most conservative, unkind instincts in people who probably think of themselves as compassionate liberals.
