For those who make intelligent posts on these subjects, thank you for your insight. I can appreciate many points of view even if I do not agree with them, simply because they are explained well or backed up with facts. These dialogues are good for all of us, especially at a time when our government and their media mouthpieces want the information flow to be unidirectional.
On the other hand, there is a lot of crap in this thread with a lot of points of view and opinions that are just that: crap. They really contribute nothing other than someone wanting to hear themselves blabber about their own opinions about the subject. Posts, based on crap that was 'heard' or 'read' or 'imagined,' cooked up or 'felt' by the posters, not based on any personal experience at all...it's just crap and it pisses me off to have to read through it to get to intelligently written, well thought out and executed, fact-based, contributory posts.
God bless our 1st Amendment...but it appears to me there are many who would benefit from more reading and much less typing.
...yours truly included!
Y'all be safe!
