  I guess you must be a newbie.  (no flame intended)  It's easy
  for newbies to hear seventh graders or dittoheads who are
  testing out new buzz-words and the forceful bravado of Limbaugh 
  on reality -- and to confuse them with people who actually have a 
  real education, or who even have real thoughts.   Sort of a manhood 
  rite.  In fact, your considering and debating their opinions 
  they find quite gratifying.  Nobody else ever has ever treated
  them like an adult.  With a little experience, you will be able 
  to pick them out rather quickly.

  They are useful however.  So often these empty bottles make our
  case so much better than we could alone.  Of course for this
  to be productive, we really need someone with more on the ball
  than Phil.
