You are a reasonable person, and therefore I will take your arguments into consideration.

By the way, don't set doctrinaire law here on FreeRepublic if some of us like to indulge in BOTH yammering on FR about this issue, as well as peppering the backsides of our representatives on the issue through treatise. Which is what I do, for your information.

Not "setting doctrinaire law" whatsoever. Rather, making a suggestion for a more effective place to make your arguments about this issue. If you do, in fact, "pepper the backsides" of your representatives, then that is to your credit. In my opinion, repeating oneself over and over and over again in a forum where it has little, if any impact, is a waste of time. But hey, it's your time, not mine.
