This question, while perhaps not intended, is like asking "when did you stop beating your wife"?

First, we do not know if all posters on Political Talk are residents of The Villages?

Secondly, we do not have personal knowledge of any one poster. So it is difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain motive or intent of the poster and more importantly the poster's state of mind.

Third, some posters appear to be simply mirroring those of their ideological beliefs. meaning that there is not any real and individual thought behind their comments

Fourth Hence these are not serious people and as such it is a waste of one's time to engage in dialogue. When faced with facts they simply deflect or deny but never engage.

Fifth, I may be wrong here but I theorize that since the baby boomer generation is said to have begun in 1945 and ended in 1954 (some report later) we are now seeing the tail end of the baby boomer generation retiring.

And since behavior got progressively more liberal beginning in the late 1960's there is quite a difference in cultural even within the baby boomer generation. The result is TV would get its share of the Cheech and Chong set.

Sixth, we simply may have want-to-be villagers dirtying up our board.
