got a repug by the short hairs yesterday
co-worker was blathering about how protest over Dubai port deal was "racial/ethinic" prejudice

I asked him if he thought protests/US flag burning etc. in Middle-east countries wasn't also motivated by racial/ethnic prejudice?

repug: blank look, gasping mouth ...that's different

me: how?

repug: I gotta get back to work

3. Nicely done . . .
. . . by the time I'm seventy or so, I plan on being able to think on my feet like that.

4. you made a big mistake
in challenging him to think for himself. That triggers the flight mode in order to avoid thinking about,and raise doubt about, his whole perception of reality.
But the seed is planted never the less, and doubt sprouts in the mind. you can run away but you cannot hide from the truth.
