Don Sutton's Shameful Past

[Archive]

I've stayed away from this thread previously, and now I see why. One thing that truly saddens me is how deeply polarized this country is. Look at how close the elections were in 2000 and how close the polls are now - both sides feel very justified in their positions and see the other side as anywhere from simply wrong to truly evil. This is a vintage baseball card board, but feelings are so high on the current state of the world (myself included), that this might as well be a political board, as the level of intensity is equally as strong as I've seen in recent weeks on boards that are devoted to politics.

Hopefully one day we'll all see eye to eye on such things, and to interject my personal point of view, I hope it's on the side of peace, brotherhood and the good of all people; Americans, Iraquis, Iranians, Saudis, French and everywhere else...

I was deeply moved by Fahrenheit 9/11, not that I thought much of Bush beforehand, and think it's more important than anything that he be ousted before he can do even more damage to our country and the world than he already has. Just my two cents. I feel as justified in my point of view that we should work with the U.N., stop attacking countries needlessly, give equal rights to gays and lesbians, stop favoring the rich, stop spending hundreds of billions on the military and spend it on education, health care, social security, funds for veterans, and things that would be actually positive for our country, etc., as some people feel justified in the opposite points of view on things.

Please no attacks, I'm not attacking those who disagree with me, you're all, like I, free to have your opinions. In my heart of hearts I know I'm right, but those who disagree know in their heart of hearts that they're right too. It's an interesting world we live in. Mostly I just pray for peace...
