KMA brought up a real discussion topic which could have been talked about constructively. Instead it became the typical BS of Tilted Politics.

Typical of political discussions everywhere, you mean. Some people simply cannot look at a topic generically, but insist rather on injecting their specific "us vs. them" ideological spin into everything. Simply put, in their minds an appeal to reason on all sides is automatically construed as a personal or partisan attack which they must defend themselves or their party against. And so the mud-flinging continues. I agree that it's sophomoric, irrational, and tiresome, and that's why there are certain people I studiously refrain from trying to engage in
any kind of debate nowadays.
