A counter-question: Is it more despicable to ask or answer a fatuous question?

[cripplecreek]

I just consider it more of an idiotic or pathetic question.

You see, some of us who have studied US History believe that Honest Abe acted as a dictator here. The fact that some see this as a "fatuous question" and decline to give an answer most likely reflects that fact that they revere Abraham Lincoln but cannot quickly formulate distinctions between him and Qaddafi whom they have been taught to hate.

Lincoln wore a stove pipe hat and Qaddafi wears a rag.

Clearly, Lincoln was a better dresser.
