"How about a serious post every once in a while".

That was a serious post.

There are several reasons why I don't post much.

1) I'm not academic enough. ( not well read enough )

2) I'm too emotional.

3) I already spend enough time debating with myself on all these great moral dilemmas.

4) This is a macho US thread and not receptive to outside perceptions.

5) This thread is heavily right wing and consequently hawkish. This is not necessarily bad but it is unbalanced.

6) I find listening and learning more helpful to my psyche than selling my position.

7) The most fascinating thing about following this thread is the insight I gain peering voyeurlike into the American mind. It never ceases to amaze me.

Anyhoo...thats why I don't post seriously and why I read the thread religiously.

BTW...what channel will the war be on?
