Boviosity!

Tim Blair recommends an easy way to decide whether you're debating with a rational opponent:

Lately, I’ve taken to employing the Patrick Cook gambit:

He merely asks: "Do you believe we are at war?" An affirmative answer indicates that conversation may proceed at an adult level. A negative reply requires Cook to excise large words, and to explain any difficult concepts using puppetry and mime.

You know ... it actually works. Try it.

So please take our little poll over there on the left. I'd be interested in the relative sanity level of our Boviosity readers.

UPDATE: Those of you visiting from other websites need to click on "MAIN" above to see the poll. Thanks for dropping by!
