Hi Dave, Sadly, I agree. But it doesn't have to be that way, does it? I remember having some fulfilling discussions here that were neither rancorous or hateful. Posting articles about a girl and her thoughts on her debate team seemed oddly out of place here. I don't know. Maybe I'm getting crotchety in my old age. Still, that ain't quality in my book. If that's all we got to talk about, then I don't see the sense in it any longer. I guess I'll go write a book.
