wasn't he just saying look at how calm and stoic I am being? and he does make a point.  The difficulty he has is that his sense of morality is offended by the otherwise pragmatic idea of not letting the refugees in at all. It seems to me none of us like logical incompatibilities. I reckon you should give bridge a go Jim, you might really enjoy it.  My brother loves it, he's a very good player, and you often remind me of him.  Bridge is the only thing I know that pins him down to a shared field of logic.  I really like that!
