I have no illusions that I'm going to change his mind. But sometimes I enjoy setting mas off on one of his foaming-at-the-mouth, rabid frenzies. It's kind of like pulling the string on a cat-toy mouse, and watching the cat chase it around the room....

Troy, why argue with the mentally deficient? Though it may be fun, it brings out the worst in them, therefore your reasoning is shown to make them a toy to your intelligence and that brings you down into their level. Benign neglect is the only way to
