I'm sorry to hear that Vitus isn't posting, under any circumstances. With ESM's, MJuric's, and Vitus's voices muted, who will carry the banner of intelligent, reasonable counterpoint to the idealists here?
patf, rick_pcfl, spot... Can you guys pick up the slack?
I count it quite the compliment to be included in that list. I will say that 8-10 years ago (and less) - nobody would have counted me as someone capable of providing a reasonable counterpoint to the idealists.
I have to give all the credit for my change in disposition to the people here who post thoughtful, intelligent and considerate opinions. My viewpoints on a number of things have changed as a result of the two-sided discussions that take place here. Had I been a participant of the conservative forums - I would still probably hold all conservative opinions.
<edit> Ow crap. I think I sprained my shoulder patting myself on the back. :)
