GAK, if my statements can be viewed as agendized my greatest hope is that they'd be associated with the idea that truth and reason is at their core.

Anyone can be portrayed as villainous by mistating facts involving their actions, associations or character, yet when such a portrayal is instead based upon provable facts I fail to see how that can then be viewed as agendized.

I also fail completely to see how my statement "We all must accept full responsibility for our thoughts and deeds, but ... we have no responsibility for how others view or perceive our actions as that responsibility rests with them." has any bearing in your last post unless you can offer some proof that what I have stated are falsehoods. If you can prove such, please do but it would seem you've simply fallen into the velvet lined trap of failing to do any research regarding my statements and instead choose to dismiss it all and claim it's all agendized.

Or .... did you actually make the effort to see if my statements were true and have arrived at a different conclusion from that act of discovery?

Interesting analogy using chicken little dude but with the uncertain state of the US' credit position in the global economy, other credit rating agencies putting forth the idea that they too are considering downgrading our status, stock markets in Asia, across Europe and certainly here in the US as well taking a serious hit over this overall financial uncertainty it would seem less than logical to look at it all and say nothing of import is really taking place.

However, you certainly get to make that claim, just don't forget to also take responsibility for having made it
