Dude, don't you realize you have no chance with this argument? Mechoman is the chair of the Nebraska Board of Tourism! They're the genius mind behind those award-winning slogans we all remember, like *"Nebraska: We're relevant, damnit!" and "Nebraska: Don't scratch it, that will just make it worse!".

Seriously though, if you wanna get stuck in with them I can really recommend it - poking holes in their arguments is like bubble wrap for the rhetorical soul - but I just wanted to chime in and mention that you've brought some truly excellent points, and to make sure nobody's taking this goober too seriously.

There's a lot of stuff that either sucks or is downright horrible in the world right now, honestly even more than there was last month, and it's really not worth letting some people add their BS to that burden.

Anyways, you seem cool. I hope your day/night/timezone is going and continues to go well for you (and I hope you don't take the nebraska jokes personally, they're a whole other thing I'm riffing on with them in another thread).

Glad tidings and peace.
