TemekuT, I truly respect your comment about setting an example for the kids. Taken to heart.
Allan, with the ad-hominem thing, I have a mixed take, one of those ‘Luke Skywalker’ dark-side things. I don’t mind mixing it up, but I genuinely prefer a good discussion.
Honestly, I don’t think these fringe types are open to reason. Who accuses proponents of separation of church and state of killing 100M people? How is that innocuous but calling them a dickhead in response is offensive? Talk about ‘politically correct’.
Not to dismiss your points, either of you. Trust me, I’ve considered them. And I continue to weigh your advice. It is genuine and fair advice.
I don’t know the answer. We are really off-track as a country because partisans and fringe lunatics feel like they own the place and can go around lying and attacking anybody for anything.
The moderate middle needs to assert itself. So I guess this is where I come from these days. Kick the crap out of people who say stupid things. Does that make me one of the lunatics saying stupid things? Yeah, I suppose. That’s the rub.
