You know something? Who cares? Things are different in a lot of peoples' minds. Whether they actually are or not has yet to be seen, but the mood is in the air. This country has been in a cynical funk ever since 9/11. Hell, this list has been that way. Before then, it was a lot of off topic and fun chatter about anything and everything then, boom, 9/11 and the place made a major shift to discussing almost nothing but world affairs and politics. Thanks to the mood of the country, it hasn't shifted back in almost 8 years. Seriously. The list could probably be safely renamed CF-Politics. It's why I never participate anymore. I am just sick of hearing about it and all of the bickering that is going along with it.
So Gruss is enthralled with the first lady. Again, who cares? At least it is an uplifting sentiment. Let people have their moment of hope that things *might* actually get better. There is no reason to shit all over a nice post like Bruce did by countering with some bullshit, mud-slinging thread-jack that had absolutely nothing to do with the original post. I mean, what was that? Come on man. Are we really that petty now that we will take any opening to take a shot at the man or the people who support him, no matter how small or how unrelated? Some people are happy to wallow in gloom and doom, but some are tired of it. Let those tired of it enjoy what they see as something to be excited about before we find out if either there really is change in the winds, or that things will continue to suck like they have for the longest while now. There are plenty of other things to argue about other than someone's definition of "getto", or why someone is encouraged to see the First Lady rubbing elbows with the Queen. I offer you an entire mailing list full of them. Scott Stroz wrote: > So sorry.
