Good heavens, when did anyone ever convince anyone else with an argument ?
And if that's not what you mean by "winning", just exactly how DO you win
an argument ?  Maybe I'm cynical, but quite often it's the person with the
loudest voice (or, perhaps, the analogy here should be 'the most persistent
poster') who gets the last word, at least.  I thought all this counter-counter-
discussion was just ego-rubbing opinion stating (fascinating, too .. does 
anyone else try to picture the protagonists from their arguments ?  I have
chuq down as a reasonable age (30-40), blond to brown, bearded, comfortably
weighted - rather like an adult teddy-bear.  Can't think WHY I get this
impression - how far out am I ? )

Just for this, I am going to introduce a new topic:  does anyone have any
comments/experience on/about mixed race couples, married or otherwise,
discrimination (forwards or reverse), and problems with/for the kids ?
