Sorry I thought that you were referring to me specifically as it sure sounded that way.
For each individual case the variables will all be different of course, but the demographic facts can't be denied, so either it has to do with believing how you were raised to believe, or there's some other explanation. Do you have one?[/QUOTE]
No, I have no other explanation. Maybe it's just the connotation associated with indoctrination, but I think that's kind of strong language to use.
