I don't know.. I don't think so.. I'm kind of burned out right now.. I just have to take a break once in awhile. I was in a big discussion on the "center" thread TRYING to get people more involved in "hands on politics". There is lot of smoke blown around with "cyber politics" but I think real life stuff is much more effective..

Getting ALL sides out for face to face discussion is very important to save the democracy as it was laid out. Yell and scream and talk over each other is an more effective way to come to the correct conclusion.. :)

The internet is great for sharing information, might even save the world, but it tends to ISOLATE people from real life. Just like the TV did in the fifties. Everybody pulled their blinds and planted their ass in front of the tube to watch "Father Knows Best" or whatever rather than sitting outside on their front porch and visiting.. So while watching "Milton Berle" their neighborhoods went to Hell outside and they soon lost track of their neighbors and eventually lost their neighborhood... :(

Just my initial thoughts....:)
