OK. For argument's sake, lets assume that you are correct about math people
being liars and hypocrits. My question is then.... BIG HAIRY DEAL! If that
is how reality works, then get over it and move on. I am not worried about
it. Your whining will not change anything.

Again... lets say that you are correct..... again BIG HAIRY DEAL! Nobody
gives a crap...

Be my guest.
