How dare you raise the spectre of *empirical proof*? Aroint thee, varlet!

I propose a simple remedy for the dispute. All talk.politics.misc readers
will contribute $3 toward the cost of airfare from, say, Boston to Miami.
(I, for one, would gladly pay that much to be rid of the foreground noise
about Cuba, and I suspect many others will feel the same.)

The observer should be a disinterested party.  Of course, in fairness to the
claims of certain parties, the expedition should take place during a part of 
the year when warm, sunny weather creates a favorable climate for temperature
inversions and related phenomena.

I volunteer.

P.S. For $5.25 we could probably get a package deal including 3 days at
Disney World...but maybe our traveler, having tasted the forbidden fruit
of reality, would linger, lotus-eater-like, never to return to the fantasy
land of talk.politics.misc.
