My "voice" has been relatively silent of late in the world of politics, but I must say that this topic encourages me to believe that the tfp politics forum is about to evolve into something better than it has ever been.
The stasis of the forum that was driven primarily by "us vs. them" appears to have been broken by a number of forces. New members, a new congress, and a greater willingness to listen, discuss and disagree in an intelligent manner are all factors that I see present now.
I am passionate about the political influences that affect my world, and I want to discuss these issues with those that choose to educate themselves on specific matters. I have no interest in participating in a forum that tags and mocks it's members by another member of a differing viewpoint. I view that response as an insult to my intellect, no matter how uninformed I might be on a particular subject.
My interest in this forum is primarily one of a source of information. I learn here, thanks to those that make the effort to share their knowledge and resources. I am fully capable of evaluating and further researching what is offered here, and I reject spoonfed ideology. To echo Host, I also want to know how we think that we "know."
