    "Steam" for me is associated with either a tea kettle calling me to a relaxing evening beverage or, in my healthier days, a relaxing sauna after a good workout! So I'm glad I had a relaxing effect on you! I haven't mastered IM on this site and I'm not here most of the time anyway, so just email me any questions. Cheers! Ed

    Hi Ed. To ensure the integrity of the thread, comments can only be edited within a very short window (minutes) after they are originally posted.

    Sorry, can't figure out how to edit my posts. Hope it's clear that after Egyptians "overthrew Mubarek, THEY wisely overthrew" Muslim Bros. And Obama "did not back the protesters and the theocrats CONTINUED TO rule."

    To make an important point again, we need to apply principles in a real world that, like it or not, often offers choices that not great and even worse. The drug war is a mistake, but Mexican drug gangs in American cities are a reality. The cultures of Islamic countries are to a greater or lesser extent pre-modern. In Egypt, after they overthrew Mubarek, wisely overthrew the Muslim Brotherhood. In Iran in 2009 thousands of people went into the streets against the theocrats. Obama did not back the protesters and the theocrats rule. In other countries the enlightened are a very small minority, It is valid, especially for Europeans, to ask "Who are we letting into our countries?" I'm not necessarily arguing against helping current refugees but pointing out significant portions of the Muslims in some of those countries are as anti-Enlightenment has they come. Check out the Finsbury Mosque in Britain sometime.

    When others—just about all liberals and conservatives—deny that we have rights and assert the right to use force to make us do as they or “society” wishes, making them defend their principles, putting them on the defensive, is certainly a noble goal. But you still must ask, “How can I be most effective?” Sometimes getting in the face of an interlocutor a bit might be best. Sometimes taking them through arguments step by step might work. Sometimes offering compelling examples might get them to think. But there are three crucial things to keep in mind for any communication: audience, audience, and audience. Don’t waste time talking past someone or, if you think they just won’t change their mind and you’re not trying to influence the listening audience, don’t waste your time. Be effective!

    ok. that was rude. I am sorry. You are very important to me. I am traveling to an area with a huge migration influx and I I am just sick. sorry Eud. You are very important to me. I do not have to apologize for a discussion on procedural rules for a "proper govt" which limits my freedoms. That will always be dissonant. and you know what? I do not own a firearm

    Something to that effect, I think so, Tech, but it may also include work permits there.
    See any downsides for the US to do so with the UK, NZ, Australia, Canada? I could see some reluctance if it included work permits. Could be a good question for Rand Paul.

    Yes, it ended far too soon.
    I wanted to give them both space to talk, but I would love to take up the topic again and get into specifics.
