Come on Carrol. I'm not going to drag out my logic manual, but there are at least two more than one logical fallacy in this response.
I'll play though. People have asked you this before and as far as I know you've never responded. Why did you study literature? And I'll go you one further. Why do people on this list, generally speaking, love your posts about literature better than most of your other posts (unscientific finding of course.)?
