Couldn't agree with you more. Debate is so overrated -- and to what end is it most of the time, other than 'gotcha?!' :) gw

What one person views as one up man ship,another a desire to connect.If a person feels one upped for heavens sake raise the ante.Sounds like that dreaded Ego you spoke about in reference to your poem give the devil his due.
