	If one disagrees with someone's comments or arguments, Kevin is taking
the appropriate method.  He offers a counter argument, which is valid,
and carries more weight than simply brushing it off.

	Why do you take it persoanlly?  I do not take arguments against
Chretien or any other "federal" leader personally.  Why should anyone
be insulted if ANY politician is criticized???  Or do you revere
politicians as saints or gods?  Wasn't one of the main accomplishments
of the Quiet Revolution the unshackling of such blind faith, be it to
religious leaders or politicians?

	Your opinion that Karen is so far from realitity is simply an opinion.
If you beleive they are wrong, then it is up to you to bring up your
arguments and support them as Kevin did.

	Doing so, simply stops the discussion.  I thought one of the reasons
you are here in the first place is to discuss various viewpoints.  Or,
do you want to ignore them simply because you cannot defend you
stance?
