| 39. That's the way logical arguments work |

I submit something I hold to be true. In this case two axioms and a conclusion that validly follows. Your job is to find weaknesses in the two axioms, not accept them but point out where they're wrong. Y'all've been attacking A1 and A2 and I've been defending it. That's just healthy public discourse --- what makes America great.
The conclusion, I'm sure you realize, is off limits for this discussion. If the axioms are true then the conclusion automatically is true. That's just the way it works. No question begging here.
