Frank, don't get worked up just because someone has illustrated why you are wrong. It just lessens your position even further. My examples are indeed extreme but that's why I use them. We all know they are examples and not the real world. Go to any college classroom across the nation and you'll find similar examples.

If you're going to state 'everyone has an opinion and is entitled to it' you should qualify it a bit. I think you are the one with the soapbox, my friend.
