For example, couldn't you say the same thing by saying "The US has nuclear weapons, but they don't want other countries to have nuclear weapons. I don't understand the rationale behind that. >>
the rationale behind that is all too easy tonderstand. so i, personally, wouldn't take it as a valid paraphrase.
regrettably, words are getting eroded, just like our environment.
not dr. bob's fault. still. still.
there is no such thing as tact, IMO, without candor. i value tact. and candor.
but separate the two, and conversation loses its value.
