[QUOTE=An Gadaí] Creationists and Evolutionists, Obamaists and Clintonists, Democrats and Republicans, Liberals and Conservatives, Skeptics and Believers, Nay sayers and yay sayers, can’t we all just get along once?? [/QUOTE] I’m with you on every dispute except one–I will never abide the Yay-sayers. If they post “yay” 1,000 times, I will post “nay” 1,001 times. I can never get along them, not even once, not even for twenty minutes. Some principles are too sacred to be compromised. ---
