Hello,

Did not mean to denote you were an "apologist". My apologies if it came across that way.

Don't need any schooling on dictionary definitions though, but each to their own. If you took it as shooting the messenger then for that, I also apologize. I am just curious as to why you are interested in economics so much...perhaps it is your specialist field, and I suspect (no stalking!) that it is what you taught in the U.K. and subsequently the PRC. If so, more power due you.

Thanks for the agreement re: ISIS.

Have a good weekend,
SMGS
