- Oh, give me a break! Please. How can you find CONCRETE evidence that
- something does NOT exitst!? I bet you can't provide any concrete
- evidence that Santa Clause doesn't exist (actually, I'm probably going
- out on a limb on this one, since it's less than evident that you've
- reached this conclusion based on your willingness to make wild
- speculative leaps). If fifty years of intense effort, with no result,
- to locate snuff films by the FBI, Congress, Dept. Justice, etc. -- not
- to mention "feminists" like McK doesn't give a rather convincing piece
- of NEGATIVE evidence, then I'm sure you'll NEVER be convinced they
- don't exist.
