Like many posters here I tire quickly of the vanilla flavor topics. I don't post nor do I believe anything said by me will change anyone's mind... but so many topics need a national conversation .

the riots are a clear example of our nation's inability to debate.

the political forum was stimulating and I believe it could have continued if the Admin just shut down the name callers
Good post and I agree. BTK's thoughts are on point too. And once again, I state my devout belief in the 'refrigerator' concept. One doesn't have to eat every damn thing in the big white box. Close the door!

I never got involved in the political thread or section but I felt it was a loss to have it closed because of a few screwballs who could have been dealt with individually.

Civil discourse does not have to be 'nicey nicey' or pleasing to most, it just has to be civil and respectful, in a two way street sort of way.

Good thread Ed.
