>>Like a dumb debate.
That's right Cloetus, why should folks waste their time listening to those who would lead/own them debate actual ideas and issues when they can be bleating about who's winning American Idolatry and Dancing with the Perverts on Reality TeeVee - in between commercials for Beer, Erectile Dysfunction, Anti Depressants, Sleeping Pills, and Depends.
And what did dumb Thomas Jefferson know about the process of American government, anyhow...
".. that it is time enough for the rightful purposes of civil government, for its officers to interfere when principles break out into overt acts against peace and good order; and finally, that truth is great and will prevail if left to herself, that she is the proper and sufficient antagonist to error, and has nothing to fear from the conflict, unless by human interposition disarmed of her natural weapons, free argument and debate, errors ceasing to be dangerous when it is permitted freely to contradict them.
