No! No! Arrrrggggggg! Improper use of begging the question. Begging the
question refers to circular reasoning and stands alone. No question follows
begging the question. All of this _raises_ some questions . . . etc.
Wikipedia: Begging the question means "assuming the conclusion (of an
argument)", a type of circular reasoning. This is an informal fallacy where
the conclusion that one is attempting to prove is included in the initial
premise of an argument, often in an indirect way that conceals this fact.
Sorry. It's my most persistent language neurosis. Chris B has his pluperfect
and I have my begging questions. <g>
