"If all economists were laid end to end, they would not reach a conclusion."
- George Bernard Shaw
Wow, I'm sure glad I'm a Star reader so I can see more of this unique content and insight. Please talk to David Olive and remind him that the Star is a great Canadian newspaper, not a spambot for whatever he picks up after trolling Kos in the morning.

"Ad hominem abuse usually involves insulting or belittling one's opponent in order to invalidate his or her argument, but can also involve pointing out factual but ostensible character flaws or actions which are irrelevant to the opponent's argument. This tactic is logically fallacious because insults and even true negative facts about the opponent's personal character have nothing to do with the logical merits of the opponent's arguments or assertions." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem
