Thanks for your response. Points 1 and 2 are well taken.
Regarding point 3, I most often used links and articles to support my positions. However, I felt like all the volume of "evidence gathering" that goes on kind of takes away from the conversation...like the one we are having now.
Regarding the OP...(I'm very tired and apologize if I'm rambling)... Admittedly, the set up for this thread was probably not the most tactful, but it appears to have been effective in shedding light on a real problem.
I was going to leave "Politics" altogether and (now regretfully) deleted the text of most of my posts. My reasons were out of frustration and realizing how I'm sometimes part of the problem too. I thought about it and decided to stick around and face what was bugging me. It's very possible that this is not the place for someone of my temperament, but I'll try a fresh approach.

Thanks... I admit being a little rough around the edges, so I really appreciate those who have remained open-minded.
