Well, I've just slogged through the "What Happened to TFP" thread and want to do my part. As a moderate, I've been around for awhile but I have noticed that the politics forum has polarized acutely (at least to me). I realize that I must contribute or else be reduced to a moderate by the wayside (no, not that Wayside). So, I want to do my best to help reinvigorate the politics (and TFP in general) forum. I have been gone alot in 2006 - I was in Washington DC at an internship in a think tank (lots to tell there) and this summer I traveled throughout Europe and the Middle East. I was in Egypt and Israel for the war and got alot of 1st hand viewpoints. I have a video of myself in an air raid by Lebanon.

I'm going to be more active now as well as listen. I will use my opinions, backed by facts, sometimes links, other times just my own editorial. A good balance I think. I like hosts posts (hey that rhymes) and I like UsTwo's posts (here and there). I love Pans passion, Charlatan and Ubertuber's reason. I miss Tecoyah's thoughtfulness (someone get him back here) I appreciate everyone's views but we can spreadout more and explore. I know Elph, Will, Politico and the other moderates are around and putting in big effort. You guys are so critical to keeping this joint together (in my opinion) - I love your sincerity and honesty. Seaver, Stevo, I often nod my head along with your posts, and whatever happend to MojoPeiPei? Rb and Smooth, I love the challenges and level of discussion you guys bring and no one can beat host for research.

Thanks for listening.
