You may have been right before.

This just has become too much name-calling, slamming of others in gossipy fashion, and darned little discussion as to issues and facts.

I have to admit when it gets down to remarks about a person's captivity and mental health counseling in a negative manner, that hits too close to me and the people I spend a lot of my time with. We've lived with those innuendoes for decades, and every time we get ticked off, it's "Oh, it must be the Agent Orange, again" or crap like that. I guess you just have had to deal with it to understand....

My "slam" on Sen. Obama has always been on his credentials and qualifications - never on the man. I never insulted him for any part of his ethnicity, age, or general character. I have taken great exception to his lack of experience.

I truly enjoy debating issues and positions, as that's how I learn and understand. I'm just tired of the petty bigotry that goes on within the guise of "political opinion."

Yeah, there are better things to do...

All the best!

Many may believe Freedom of Speech included license to insult, but that doesn't mean it should be practiced.

Adios
