Over the years, the information has kept me here, the ability to dispel some of the BS eliminates a lot of day-to-day frustration and knowing there are others of like mind doesn't hurt. I can even watch a little MSM 'news' now without breaking a TV (or at least being sorely tempted to do so).
TV manufacturers worldwide echew the day that Free Republic went online. TV breakage dropped drastically.
Laptop manufacturers celebrated, though, due to spewage onto laptop screens from ROTFLMAO moments on FR!
LOL!
