[QUOTE="upsgrunt, post: 1491237, member: 9295"] Ok- here it goes, and I'm done and truly sorry to unload on you. 1. What I meant by you wanting to know what I have to say, but not wanting to hear what I have to say is referring to a principle where a listener simply wants to hear anothers words, without any intention of contemplation, as a means for ammunition to immediately rebute. 2. I have a cousin who is a scientist, and in his own words, "I vote Democrat because we seem to get the most grant money from Democratic government because they are more in favor of research". He goes on to say " you know why scientific results seem to change from year to year?- Because if the results are steadfast, and don't change, they lose the ongoing grant money. That is why french fries are bad for you one year, and not so bad the next". he adds "If we gave humans proportionaly the same amount of drugs we give the rats with regards to weight, the humans would most certainly die from whatever they gave them- Tylenol to Sacharin. We need to have positive results to get our money". As an aside: my cousin used to be a woman. Not that it makes any difference. [/QUOTE]
