Well gee, the next time I feel like trying to elevate political discourse and an understanding for each other, I'll just keep it to myself. But seriously folks, I don't see a reason to use blind partisan rhetoric as a way to debate the issues, it eventually just turns into a screaming match and insults like one I saw over in the Person of the Year thread about Texas coaches being inbred and how bad it was for Cal to lose the Rose Bowl bid and how the said inbreds also put Bush in office is really starting to disgust me and I thought this article would help in shedding some light on the issues. I myself have been known to resort to snide comments and I have been edited and warned on this board, and my earliest posts in this forum were rather vitriolic against Clinton for no reason and I've come to realize that. I have matured and I think I owe it a lot to this board because I've come into contact with so many different views in one place and it has given me an experience of moderating my language and develop an understanding and yes, even appreciation, for other people's opinions. Call me idealistic, but I was hoping that I could help others develop as I have from being a participant on this forum, that's all I really have to say.
