Everyone here has an opinion and as far as I'm concerned they are welcome to it. I can disagree without getting so fired up I have to resort to personal attacks. If I can prove that a poster is wrong, or if someone can prove me wrong, so be it. No need to get all pissed off.
I recognize that some of the topics are vitally important to the future of this country as we know it but tempered discussion will bring us to solutions faster than animus.
Just my two cents worth.
John have you not noticed that whenever there is a calm, sensible post put up it gets totally ignored. Most posts make me think of the Pharoah bird that flies in ever decreasing circles until it disappears up its own anus. From that advantageous position it slings the chit at its enemies.
