MikeV is absolutely right when he states that people our ages are not going to have our minds changed on political issues and will shut out opposing views automatically.
The political forum was really not informative on what was happening and did get mighty cantankerous at times. I have become good friends with a couple of the "opposition" and still get in good political jibing with them. We all know it is in fun.
Probably a good idea to keep it shut down.
