I am sorry to say that this thread shows that KenTX is not solely to blame for discussion threads deteriorating into personal stuff.  I can't stand KenTX's views, and I would love to act more forcefully when people complain about him, but the "liberal regulars" really lose a lot of their argument when they antagonize KenTX personally.

I also feel crappy now that I too am contributing to the derailment of this thread.

Being polite and reasonable, what a novel concept.

You are incapable of presenting your POV in a clear or articulate manner and that is somehow the website's fault?

Awww, WHAT?! This is Ken, too? Jesus, man! And to think I called you "cool."

Are you trying to ruin the entire forum? I'm asking a legitimate question. New users are liable to run screaming as soon as they find out that half the user names on the website are owned by the same brain-dead libertarian.

I thought you liked The Young Turks.

This is how free markets are supposed to work Ken?

GM tried this strategy in the 70's and 80'. It is called badge engineering. All products are based on the same frame with minor styling differences to maintain the illusion of a different automobile from the core Chevrolet. GM's long term decline and recent bankruptcy should demonstrate the stupidity of a strategy based on deception. The public was not fooled.

It's an embarrassing, but easy mistake. I did it once myself during my transition from my old username to this one.
