Leon summed up exactly what I wanted to add to this thread: Not all the so-called political arguments we have had on this board have been about Democrats vs. Republicans, or right wingers vs. liberals. I think the issue that pushes everybody's button is the stupid post. I will accept anybody's point of view- and I think most know I am a "liberal" Democrat and will wear that as a badge of honor for the rest of my life (I don't consider the term "liberal" an insult, to me it is a compliment)- but I abhor stupid, ill conceived responses. And Bruce, I think a lot of the things you say are purely for shock value and just to draw attention to yourself. And there are others who do the same. Say something intelligent and a positive discussion is likely to follow. Arguments on this board and in life (is Net54 part of real life?) are caused by silly inflammatory statements.
