    I could build an airtight case for it being true just based on AM's homepage every day.

    An argument could certainly be made for the other side, but this was such a special case.   ;-)

  • A good argument can be made for both sides. One way or the other, I'll be so happy when this plays out.

    No, I don't really believe it.

    For me, at least, there have been many things in my life that I've not understood until they were explained to me. Then I understood.
    It seems a person would never have the ability to learn a thing in life if the quote were true.

    But maybe I just don't understand.

    ;)

    Are you going to sprout a horn from your forehead now too?

    Why?  How?

  • I do understand. I get real antsy when someone starts explaining something when I've already told them that i do understand it. Flip of the coin.....If I don't understand something and it's explained to me logically, I have a chance of understanding it.
