I was concerned about the conservative bias of the owner, his newspaper, his radio station, and his political donations. But I can tell you, the people here are 99 and 44/100ths pure nice. There are political discussions but I have never heard any hostility once I am willing to let others know my opinions. It seems that silence betokens consent and if the "wing nut" is not aware that he speaks to a moderate he feels no need to be moderate and thoughtful. We even have a large club that is devoted to Civil Discourse!
