It is amazing "Deeply Divided Supreme Court 5-4" If there is any group guilty of Deeply Dividing this country it's the media, Gore is a driven maniac that can harm the US but the media can trash a lot more.

I just find it aggravating when a debate about issue's needs to turn into an argument that
is a personal attack.


Don't we all. Well, most of us at least. But as responsible posters decide to abandon a threads, the hope of rational discussion diminishes. What I think is needed is more good speech to override the bad speech. Also, for the responsible posters just to ignore the namecalling messages. If these people don't get reinforcement (and they go for any reinforcement, positive OR negative, they don't care) they will find it no fun and drift away.

Of course in extreme cases there's resort to SI Bob and the TOU.
