Well, too bad.  Computers seem like magic to some, too.

It's amazing how people can pull something so far out of context.  Did you
notice that little but powerful word 'if'?

If they said 'if', then I wouldn't get bent out of shape.  In fact, in these
threads those statements have been said, and I've chimed in with my views on
how us Americans are thinking & feeling these days, in an often vain attempt
to bring some perspective to the arguments.

Are you just picking a fight with me?  This is incendiary and lacks
understanding.

If you think I condone any of the Hateful posts going around, I feel sorry
for you, you must have a dim view of humanity if you assume that someone you
don't even know would think that way.

It seems you do have a personal stake in this.  Otherwise, why lambaste me
instead of the Hateful posters?

If you don't read all my words, what does it matter?  It's hopeless.
