Right, and when it all averages out you are right of center, though not a
radical.

You're much simpler than you give yourself credit. And as such you should
be taught. But that can't happen because you think you know it all.

Reminds me of a little saying:

He who knows not and knows he knows not, is simple, teach him.
He who knows and knows not he knows, is asleep, awaken him.
He who knows not and knows not he knows not, is a fool, avoid him.
He who knows and knows he knows, is a leader, follow him.

I have been trying to teach, but I'm getting the impression avoidance is
probably more prudent in your case.

Many libertarian views have that effect as well. Pro gun, pro choice and
the legalization of drugs. In short, less government intervention all the
way around.

No, Eric, I still have much to learn. But not from you.

Grasping at straws, I see. Fool!

Yes, restrictions on learning suit you well...fool!
