Yes! Very well put. Unfortunately, it sums up both the problems facing the earth, and this idiotic thread. I really think the rest of you should invest your time in working on your poetry, and let John and Charlie talk to each other until they get into a fist fight. When I see the amount of time that good poets have devoted to trying to convince a few blockheads that the earth is not flat, it makes me want to weep.
