I agree Lori! Every time a "liberal" or a "left-wing" gets into a
discussion here (labels labels) ... here come the limits. Here comes
the " thread gestapo" to tell us enough is enough. I have never asked
anyone on this line to stop their discussion, only perhaps to ask them
to temper their presentation, so as not to hurt anyone here. But there
are a few, who I see coming from the "right" who immediately cry "foul"
and demand the end of what I find as very stimulating exchange. Without
being cruel or mean spirited, we can certainly chide each other
good-naturedly. In fact the more we talk - the more we talk! Get it,
no fighting, no war, less hate and maybe even ... a little peace, love
and understanding! (and what's so funny about that?!)
Also, I think there are those on both sides of the political spectrum
who can get catty and mean, but of course I tend to see the "right" a
bit more skewed than the others, that 's natural for any and all sides.
There are so few who engage in this kind of exchange, tho I really
should be tipping my hat (if I was wearing one) to all those who
interact and exchange so sincerely and calmly and generously here.
My lover and I used to discuss and argue every possible political point
- even though we were on the same side 90% of the time. Because then we
would argue why we were on that side - I loved it! I really missed her
this week more than I have lately! Come on Robin can't you be an angel
and "help" out on the recount in Florida!
Thank you all! And Lori I prefer P-town!
Peace
Susan
