cordex,

aside from tamara's questions, which is something that i am still looking through, ive responded to most of the logical challenges, aside from blackhawks which is akin to explaining to a blind man the colour blue. death, like that colour, just is a fact of life.
that in itself means that its not a "logical challenge"

blackhawk,

listen to tamara - death happens, it is a fact, get over it.

another quote from Hobbes that is relevant:

And because the Athenians were taught (to keep them from desire of changing their government) that they were freemen, and all that lived under monarchy were slaves; therefore Aristotle puts it down in his Politics "In democracy, liberty is to be supposed: for it is commonly held that no man is free in any other government." [Aristotle, Politics, Bk VI]
