There have been lots of loaded questions popping up here in the last few days. The "do you still beat your wife?" reference earlier was to the use of loaded questions. I think I had confused the concept of the loaded question with the concept of the "negative pregnant." It seems that some of the loaded questions posed here have been designed to bring about a negative pregnant, which the questioner will then exploit.

The loaded question is not permissible in a legal proceeding, because it is designed to mislead rather than to reveal the truth. I would suggest that we engage in a voluntary moratorium on this sort of misdirection. We all have a tendency to sing to the choir here. That tune can very easily end up off key.

Regards,

D-Ray
