One of the few threads of optimism, that I will throw into this sea of cynicism, is that the pendulum will swing back, as it always does, and they will learn the difference between argument and persuasion.

Enjoy your trip.


PS. For the most part I agree with your Daddy.

James, the point here is that we have to deal with where the pendulum is... not where it was or where it will be.

True, and might I suggest that the more mature (often not the same as more aged) should be able to look past the delivery and still be able to read the message.

Unfortunately, it still seems to have denigrated, ON BOTH SIDES.

I am seeing less and less refutation of position and more personal attacks.

Frankly, in careful reading of the posts, Dan seems to be attacking ideas and beliefs and receiving personal attacks on his method of delivery in response.

I am glad you have an opinion. regardless of what you think you see, look at where it degrades. what is the common denominator? that is what has to be dealt with.

this thread had hundreds of posts from both sides with no problem. then somehting changed. having at least 1 eye and the capasity to comprehind english should be enough to figure out what/where the change took place.
