Politics

Whoo boy! Here is the big hotbed of personal opinion outside of the Philosophy category! Just like Philosophy, these are my *OPINIONS* about how things should work in government. I like to think that I can back up these opinions with logical debate, and I will certainly try to do so. But again, I reserve the right to alter and change my stances on various topics based on my own experiences and conversations. My comments on the obvious issues being discussed in the political arenas at the time will wind up here. Religion in general will be *MOSTLY* absent (go read about my views on religion in the Philosophy category) except where it is inseparable from political commentary in which case, it will be commented upon here. I will not open this section to comments. Politics seem to be rife with hatred and ignorance in regard to everyone involved be it the electors or elected. In many cases, it is worse than sports fans! I understand that these people affect your lives and the country at large, and so your passions are riled. I just do not want any fighting in my "house." Rational discussion is fine. Bickering is borderline OK and sometimes funny. Posturing and personal attacks are unacceptable. So this section is closed to your opinion. It is only here to satisfy my need to espouse my thoughts on the current political events, be they what they may.
