You have a great way of presenting both sides without strawmen, thank you. I wonder if you have ever read any libertarian perspectives( the ones that don't deny the science, which more than a few tend to do I'm ashamed to say)?

Anybody else hate how Bioware shit on everything Obsidian did with Kotor 2? They ignored most of the story and plot elements, and killed off the Exile(while giving her an awful name like Meetra Surik).
