Which only proves that oftentimes it is not wisdom, but complacency that
comes with age.

Amazingly enough, most human beings over the age of 10 are bright enough
to recognize that spin does not equal a rational refutation. Of course,
many Americans over the age of 25 seem to have become unable to discern
spin from truth, so you do retain a chance of pulling the wool over the
eyes of a lot of the folks in this newsgroup.

But there are still enough people around who can recognize spin for what
it is. The truth is, calling something 'nonsense' based solely around
your word that it is nonsense, does not equate to evidence.

You can, however, console yourself with the fact that a lot of people in
the nation still buy spin hook, line, and sinker.
