It took a few hours, but I vowed to read every post on the board and did. Now I can leave it, feeling that I didn't miss anything. It seems to me:

1. This board is so filled with hate that it is as frightening as the conflict we are supposed to be disgusting. It is almost a cynical study in human attitudes.

2. It is primarily being used as:

a. an "I hate Clinton" board (several of those already exist)
b. listen to my jokes please; nobody else will
c. let me spout off my [often inaccurate; VERY often] bag of facts
d. a place to ridicule those who would like to help

There is hardly a note of sadness, hardly a syllable of compassion for the refugees OR the Serbian children in bomb shelters. Just mouth. So much mouth that it's sickening. A few bright people, a few intelligent postings. But it's not worth hours to dredge up one.

Too bad. People need a place where they can come and find information and ask questions. What they will find is simply how much most of us hate each other. Often in the unbelievable name of Christ or justice or honor or whatever.

Perhaps somewhere, on another planet, another galaxy, another time.
