As Wally said, in many places, with many different
points of view and theories. I rather think that
your failure to respond to a call for credentials,
and your tendancy to revert to puerile vilification
is a clear indication of your lack of either desire
or ability to engage in reasoned discourse.
The "Everybody knows..." standard of evidence is
associated with the Spanish Inquisition, the
Salem witch trials, and other atrocities.
My 4-year-old great granddaughter reverts to "You're
stupid!" when she cannot find another way to respond
to a situation. Were you severely traumatized when
you were 4 years old?
