Baker, Ted and others did mini ones.

And the problem is that all are right,  And all are wrong.

The problem is we have stopped learning to disagree.  We all have our opinions and facts, and we can present them in 100 different ways!

in the end, intelligent people will disagree becuase (shock!), absolute truth will not be made apparent to mortals!

So we must guess and use our reasoning on it and hope to convince others.  But in the end, we will fail in some cases, suceed in others and mark our failures higher than our sucesses.

And we should not.  For in each argument, we shed some truth.  So today, they dont agree with me.  Tomorrow, on a different arguement, they may.  Or we may with them.  For even in defeat we learn.

So stop the Arrrgggggghhhhh!  Debate away!  We will never all agree, but at least we will understand others and in that, we will then sharpen our own beliefs so that next time, we may agree, or convince you.

Absolute truth belongs to God (for the atheist, you have no absolutes, sorry).  For the rest of us, we debate in degrees, and in so doing, we get all get closer to the truth.

Nuff Said.
