My "solution" is to post "in depth" support for my points and opinions....
I have more to say, (of course....)but I'm distracted, thinking about the irony that the point of my post on this forum before this one was that the "establishment" in the US has a tendency to discourage / banish political discourse from the "left" of "center-right"....
