Quote:Politics: The easiest way to pick a fight that will never end. The problem is the NPR following guys (both sides) get their heads filled with a one sided argument and they become so angry/obsessed with things that are out of their control. Then they like to use message boards as their vehicle to vent their frustrations. Just horrible.

And therein lies the nexus of the great divide in this country, if you ask me (I know you didn't but let's pretend). It used to be that exchanges of ideas and debate were done face to face. And while sometimes heated, it was usually conducive to reaching a middle ground. Now cowards hide behind keyboards and sling insults and invective with no intention of attempting to see the other's point. Instead of lively debate, we have MBs full of yo momma smack downs.


There's a social, health, and political malaise in this country that's been brought about by the advent of computers. No longer forced to face our adversaries, we've turned into a nation of lazy, deaf, opinionated slobs. This is one case were technology has worked against us.


That's all I got to say about that.
