If you think my positions are unworthy of debate, fine  --  then don't comment
on them.   If you think they are worthy of serious debate, then spare us the
gratuitous insults  --  they're boring.

I know that the medical analogy has become very popular, especially in
politics, but I really feel it is inappropriate.  Clearly, I am not "immune"
to propaganda, since I may at any time allow myself to be swayed by it.
However, the choice is always mine.  The cost of integrity may be high, but
the long run cost of abandoning it is higher.
