Blue:Running away. LOL. You mean it's cowardly to leave someplace you don't like? You're supposed to stay and fight to make the place into something you do like? Forever? That's how you live your life? What an absurd waste of time. I don't own this board and I don't delude myself into thinking I have any influence here. Apparently you do delude yourself into thinking you can make this board over in your own image. Why? Can you provide an example of how your influence has changed/improved this board? Or anyone else's influence?
That is not what I said. I was merely pointing out the fact that you are presented with an opportunity to further your goal of a better informed voting public, and are running away from it. Seemingly because it is too hard.
Red:
No, that is not how I live my life, but when I see an opportunity to make a difference, I generally take it.
Green:
No, I do not think I can change this forum. I do, however, think that there is a good chance that by challenging people's uneducated assertions, that I can make a difference in some people's way of thinking. I do not expect that I will change any hearts or minds, but if I can get even one person to take a serious look at why, not what, they believe the things they believe, then I see that as a success. See, often times one must make do with what is available, and do their best to turn a seemingly hopeless situation into one with hope. That, as I see it, is the American way.
