you need to look up the dictionary definition of sophist. A little education goes a long way. I think you meant the opposite of a sophist (a believer in the Socratic method), but your misinterpretation did give me a good chuckle. Thanks.

Secondly, I am not a pseudo-scientist. I am not a scientist at all, and never have proclaimed to be one.

Third, I will speak of Bush, the worst president in American history, wherever and whenever I feel like it. It's apologists like you who probably got the worst governor in Texas history elected to our highest office in the first place.

Now, let's get back to talking about earthquakes. I've said all I am going to say on this subject.
