Why do you waste our time (and yours) with these repeated
attempts to find *linguistic* support for your ideological
axioms when you clearly don't believe that linguistic
evidence is worth a damn? If it's worthless, it's just as
worthless when (you think that) it says what you want to
hear as when it doesn't.
