That's why I got out of the discussion, Patrick. When confronted with
extreme "either you're with me or you're with the bad guys" logic, that's
a red flag to me that no serious discussion is going to take place. The
world isn't that black and white, and people who refuse to acknowledge
that are extremists of one type or another.
