I've been following this on and off all day.  There were two pages of comments when I started and now there are FIVE.  I'm only up to page three (the article itself is interesting, but the comments have sucked me in).  So many amazing, intelligent, and insightful people {and a few of the other kind} that it's a bit humbling to read and I have to stop for the night, but WOW.  If you need argument fodder for any of the idiots you know, you can find all sorts of it here.
