I keep returning to this board in the hopes that there will be some intellectual, thoughtful dialogue going on...And I am always so disappointed.
I think so many of you who post here are really smart and insightful, and have a lot of great things to say...But I'm just wondering when an intelligent conversation is going to take place.
I'm really not trying to be offensive, but it just seems that someone poses a question or a thought, and then it's off to the races about how much op-ed 'evidence' and partisan subjectivity one can possibly squeeze into a post.

I keep saying this, and no one replies to me. But I believe it's important enough to keep nagging about....And so, I will.

It's usually better when there's not an election going on. I haven't been posting a lot lately because it's gotten absolutely ridiculous around here. I felt the same in 2004 (but this time, I think it's even worse - and I didn't think that was possible).

I do try real hard....I must confess that last week I lost my temper because of the general tone around here and overreacted, posting something rather snippy (but I did apologize).
Did I hear someone mention my name???
