2) To suggest that "we take this somewhere else" is an example of a suggestion preceding a coherent thought! What has made US Chat so enjoyable at its best is that all sides of an issue have been represented....most political sites are just echo chambers that do nothing more than kiss the a$$ of the previous poster.

Leah Ann, Otter, Reaper, Marty and occasionally H2Odog were all able to bring points of view and opinions that I would not have seen or heard from my news sources of choice.

Most reasonable people will not take issue with presenting a point of view based on facts or even heartfelt convictions.

It's hard to let go. Megalo has lost his bully pulpit of manufactured facts while still confusing debate with partisan political jabberwocky. Maybe there should be a little bit of real estate set aside on the board as Timmy's corner, where those that choose to participate................. smile

If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've never tried before.
