Geo, I was not trying to be a smart aleck when I posted this morning. I fully meant to try and insert some sensibility and some insightful response to your questions after the morning opinion shows were over. I no longer feel like even trying to do so. After reading the responses recorded by some on the left, I realize it is a fruitless endevour. Idlewind has it exactly right in post #21. Among many on the left who post here there is often not even a modicum of civility. If one on the right post the same type of post they, it would appear, are banned. I know of at least one personally. She is a really good person and contributor to society. I always thought the political and current events forum of SoWal was fairly open to all to express their thoughts, research, experience and opinions openly, if at sometimes, sharply. It would appear that such is not the case. Therefore, I will continue to read the posts, say something objective when necessary regarding local government and happenings in SoWal and ignore the diatribes, idiocy and downright dirisiveness of so many who post in the political forum. I thought I could keep up with the best of them and I probably could but it has lost its intrest for me
One thing more. Glen Beck is trying to tell all that until we stand up for what we believe, what we were brought up with and what we have been taught as individuals we cannot work together as a group. I understand what he is trying to say. It is too bad so many don't. Until you can evaluate, understand, utilize and accept what has happened to you as an individual in life, you will never be able able to function successfully in society. If you don't have faith in yourself and your individual capabilities and learnings, then you have faith in nothing. Glen Beck said in his opening statement of the interview, "If the message is just for today, its meaningless". He was right.
