Perhaps it is the time of year, with no major elections, no press to speak with giddy smiles at democrat victories and republican losses, and no pundits making front page news, that keeps people from the debate, but the politics board has become more and more about the irrational, and even the rational often seems to be based on irrational and refuted premises (no need to point fingers). The political philosophies matter little when its about who can shout the loudest with the most people, regardless of the merit of the argument.
We are left with those who enjoy the art of the debate, for the sake of the debate, and those with axes to grind. While we can enjoy reading those who are here for the debating, it quickly dissolves when confronted by an axe wielder.
I have a feeling next November will be quite different.
