Guys, you haven't won -- to win, you'd have to be right. And you're just not. I'm sorry I'm not much of a debater -- I'm the kind of guy who always thinks of clever way to say something three days later when I'm sitting in the bathroom. Makes me a good writer, but not much for arguments.

And I apologize for that. Because you're quite skillfully debating yourself into a dictatorship. I feel as though I'm letting you down by not explaining it well enough.

Because this is important, dammit. It's not a joke. It's not a movie. It's not some Tom Clancy novel. It's real life, and real things like freedom and democracy that are being stolen out from underneath you. I take these things seriously, and even sort of personally.

The argument itself is controlled. Have they ever once even mentioned the French report? All they've done is talk about a French book, and totally slam it (so much for the wonderfully impartial news).

I'm sorry, guys. I wish I was better at arguments, but I'm just not. You're gonna have to figure this one out for yourselves.

It's pretty obvious, really. Plain as day.
