No, Strangler, I think you've gotten so used to arguing with me that you don't recognize when I'm agreeing with you. When I said this debate is bipartisan, I was not being sarcastic or ironic. I really meant it. That's why I objected to Bond injecting a gratuitous partisan political comment into the discussion when this problem is bigger than Obama or McCain or even the whole presidential race. And if you don't see why Bond's post might be seen as a partisan hit, then consider this: you read my post and you immediately thought I was making a knee-jerk defense of Obama. Apparently, a person's political history does give some context to their posts.

More's the pity, though. It looks like you spent a lot of time on that post.
