Not to slam P&S's or anything, but....

What is it with this obsession as to which is better?

They fill different needs and have different functions.

A 50" high-definition home video theater is going to have a better
picture than my little 8" personal DVD player. But does that mean that
I shouldn't buy a personal DVD player? I would like to see him haul the
home video theater around on business trips!

I have BOTH types of cameras and use the appropriate one for the
appropriate job. For everyday use, I don't want to walk all around town
with an SLR slung over my shoulder. I would probably be prevented from
entering many stores. I know that security at our local mall will jump
on you if they see you have a camera with you. That little P&S in my
belt pouch gets buy unnoticed, however.

It is something that I can ALWAYS have with me.

If I am planning on doing some picutre taking, on the other hand, I will
carry the DSLR.

Insecurity.

You mean like protesting that "point & shoot" is a term that
denigrates what some prefer to call "compact" cameras?
