In the olden days-when I was in school-- our social studies teacher taught us to debate topics that were quite controversial and to FORGET about wanting to WIN the debate. It's not about winning; it's about learning how to THINK. If the House and Senate would follow that, we'd have SO much more cooperation, negotiation, and bills sent to the Prexy to sign for them to become law.

You make many good points. I am still in awe over having the bills passed by congress (gun legislation, etc) in February not even allowed to be discussed.
It is correct....it is not about winning, but about a Search for the
truth . I know it's out there but so many have turned their back on truth. And as stated on this very forum directly to me...it has become all about winning.
When my country is involved TRUTH, TRUST easily triumphs over winning.
"Most" news organization, thankfully, are set up to insure truth Is printed. Ignoring it to win, as you state, is unpatriotic at best.
