Alrighty, then, :-)   we can have a juicy disagreement. (Entirely terminological,
but in some cases, e.g. abortion's being "murder" it is important)   You know
that at least about six of us here maintain that a suicide bomber ought not to
necessarily be considered irrational, and for various reasons.

But your side is hardly underequipped or represented.  You can deploy
the brain MRI studies, and you too have a fan-base here that considers
even very carefully thought-out and deliberate acts as being possibly
irrational.

And after a few hundred posts, it could happen that I've forgotten one
or two.  More later in better organized threads with better subject lines.
