And so we come full circle......right back to where we started.

You can think anything you damn well please......and you can say anything you please but doing so in a public forum where you should KNOW that some people are present who match the disdain you are expressing is, IMHO, rude, nasty and condescending. :skull:

If that's the impression you intend to convey, then by all means go ahead and critisize.
If it is NOT the impression you intend to convey, you should reconsider the wording of your remarks.

It IS possible to advocate one position WITHOUT putting down those who may not agree as "stupid, crazy, ignorant, etc. ".

One BIG problem with this lately though. The political leaders of this country, who should be role models and examples of good behavior, don't seem to get the concept and, by example, are teaching a lot of impressionable young people (and some old ones too) that the only way to disagree is to sling mud and fight. Sad.
