Amen. We had a good OT politics thread about a month ago. There was a good straightforward exchange of views, different sides of the issues, consideration, mostly respectful. Here and there the usual freak-show types, replete with usual “You must believe what I do” syndrome.

BTW, I suspect jfiq and Marion are related. Soul mates, cut from the same cloth. Both of them from crazy-land.

Hey Allan, what did you think of Al Gore’s speech the other day? Politics aside, I was pleased to hear the energy and national security connection being put forward. As you know, I think improving our strategic position vis-a-vis energy supplies is the key to advancing our foreign policy interests, getting the upper hand in dealing with the Middle East. So I liked what he had to say, overall. (BTW, I voted against Gore. Yeah, I know.)

In the next few posts, we get to listen to ranting partisan hacks ramble about Gore and global warming… (They’re annoying aren’t they?)
