The last comment is patently not true, if one wises to research the subject;
A recent study out of the U of Chicage by Prof. Lott, which is on the web,
documents theses things very well. I'd prefer to see just the opinions as
opinions, not put forth as facts. Craig is probably right about letting
this one drop; though I always welcome more opinions!... :^)
