Well, I agree with what you are saying Leland. However, these folks are very passionate about their views on just about everything. Full spectrum here, the problem is when folks cant deliver the arguement and step out. One does not have to resort to name calling but it happens...
Doesnt help that there are a few here that simply like to stir it up then step back and laugh...really lame...I simply avoid political threads...there is good camraderie tho' so we cant be all bad....
Stay positive, like Kris said, "Dont let the bastards get you down..."
