No, idiocy and human beings go together!
Ivan must have been keeping you a secret but now the secret is out.
I delurked about two months ago, and now I spend altogether too much time here! :)
In general, I have found that despite my own version of, "entirely too much time here", I write and spell much better than before, and I certainly have a skepticism of the main stream media outlets that I might not have had, (a good thing, I believe). I have gone so far as to say, that what I have learned here far exceeds my college degree in value.
I would have to subscribe to publications too numerous to read, to gather all of the information that is viewable in just an hour or so on FreeRepublic. Had I not been on FreeRepublic on 9/11, I would probably not been a witness to the reminder of where the world is headed, or for that matter, Britain's own version of mindless Islamic destruction.
