In the end there is not much we as individuals can do to change anything that happens at the national level, so maybe the best course to to keep our own sense of honor and morals (and sense of humor) as best we can.

Funny, when I hear the phrase that "the mind is like a parachute, it only works when it's open" the next thing I hear is a sales pitch. ;)

I was not as nice as D-ray sorry.

I wasn't suggesting that you were selling anything. Did you miss the smiley? I was simply pointing out that hearing someone suggest that I keep an open mind heightens my spidey sense - kind of like a news organization advertising that it is fair and balanced. :rolleyes:

It doesn't matter what you say, you're going to get a blast of shit regardless.

While your initial statement may "appear" to be innocuous, it is obvious to the tolerant mind that you are not only insulting everyone's intelligence, advocating for the return of slavery, but attempting to disguise your true meaning under the cloak of being reasonable.

Hell, even a blind man can see that.

I think I deserve to be proud of myself.
