Nice attempt at a logical discussion with Upswing.I did not have the patience this time for another discussion spun with conspiracy theories,opinions and conjecture and totally void of logic,reason and comprehension.I have seen several try with the same end result.
Every time I see an anthropology article on Newsvine, I always hope you have commented on it. Your comments are usually more detailed, informative, and interesting than the articles!
Looking forward to more articles from you!
I have to agree with NewsBlog903. I love your profile remarks. I wish I could have met you on the vine under more pleasant circumstances, but am glad you have made your acquaintance. I'm sure interesting, and less dire, conversations are in our future!
Your writing challenges my mind to think, and I appreciate that immensely. I look forward to reading more from you.
