What is more important, spelling existentialism correctly, or understanding what it means? In my opinion, both are necessary, that is, if your posts are to be believable. So far, your posts have been similar to other liberals. As in: my statements are factual, end of story, settled science, etc. If you will be truthful (instead of parroting the vfc line) with yourself, I believe you will find that most of your talking points can be colored both ways. Or, as the old argument goes; there are three sides to every story…, your POV, the other person's POV, and most important, the truth. Try it.

"You are right that most of my posts have a few grammatical errors. Takes too much time to correct every word and people know what I have said." It is not the grammatical errors that matter - it your factual errors that are important. I believe it was Ronald Reagan who said something to the effect that: "it is not that our liberal friends are ignorant - it is that so much of what they believe is not true" That is you koan - you have an political belief system based things that are not true/

But that is usually not what I find. I find unsubstantiated vitriol. Have you examined if you help cause the vitriol? For example, based on what you said, I assume you came here looking for a sophisticated exchange of ideas. Yet you start out by calling Reagan "Raygun". How do you think people here should respond to that? Do you think it unreasonable for someone to refer to Obama as "Oscumbo" in a reply to you? Have you elevated the discussion, or caused it to degenerate?
