Ahh my favorite subject is always touched upon sooner or later in many posts. Please do not condemn a totally democratic process for the sake of a few.
By it's very nature, if you go to the political forum, what do you expect to find all nice nice with no controversy.

I tend to think of myself as a constructive non conformist.

No struggle no progress.

I guess some would insist that the media is going down hill because of the way they present their agendas.

I for one salute those that take the time to be heard (read). The problem is, there are not enough willing to take the time or the heat to present their views/case.

Those who frequent forums are experienced to know there are those that do nothing but stir the pot. They become readily recognizeable after a time.

I would not forsake a worthy forum on the internet, the TOTV or many others because there is some consternation.

I used to tell folks....put on your thick skin...jump in and join the fray.....and by all means STAND UP AND BE COUNTED!!!!!

Please don't tar a god utilitarian forum like TOTV for the few posts that may not be to ones liking.

I agree there are times when folks take a subject to the personal level....here I choose to call that their style.

Our lawmakers actually count on people not wanting to wade into controversy....gives them free reign.

Hats off to the administrators for allowing the 1st amendment to flourish!!!!
