I am doubly shamed now. I can't post to this "DU" that you referred me to, because that would be a violation of their rules. As stupid as this sounds, they have a right to have their "no conservative thought rule" honored. Incidentally, have you actually read their rules? I just did! These are, I am now shocked to realize, the most anal retentive, hidebound, single-minded folks that I have ever encountered, at least to judge from their rules. How can they ever hope to taste new thought processes if they wrap themselves in this cocoon of isolation? I welcome the good challenges to my thoughts...as I'm sure we all do. How else to grow?
All kidding aside, I am now more depressed for these folks than ever. We weren't THAT obnoxious before we grew up, were we? Or don't I remember?
