Hey, I don't mind you using my name! And yes, that discussion took place in the 90s!! As I said, another time---We are olllllld inhabitants of SI. YOu know, coug, I am not real sure what you are judging here. Or why. It's obvious people are here (and educated, well read, thoughtful people at that) to exchange views. They read a lot, are far more current than the norm, and are interested in a variety of opinions. It's pretty obvious where each stands politically, I think. They post well-written articles that MAY reflect their own views, or occasionally to create some discussion. But why would involvement in a political campaign render an opinion more valuable over any other? It doesn't guarantee a better understanding or a better knowledge; it merely says someone finds a meaningful and congenial outlet for their personal beliefs. There are plenty of people who have no time for outside political activities (e.g., my husband) but I trust his extremely educated, well-considered opinions far more than someone who just happens to be working on a campaign because they might think Obama is hot. It just seems an odd way to decide whom you pay attention to. (And I am flattered you don't think I am an elitist yuppie mom)
