Try having a discussion with an acquaintance.<br /><br />Kate - You ever watch The Daly Show? The funniest segments are when he replays the "catch phrase" of the day as it's quoted by one TV personality after another in rapid succession. It's like a mantra.<br /><br />Sling - I know how you feel. Oh what we wouldn't give for a worthy opponent.<br /><br />MC - Your brothers-in-law sound like idiots. Arguing with idiots can be fun sometimes. By the way, mostaccioli is a pasta dish with marinara sauce and cheese. <br /><br />MHP - They do suck... spread the word.Random Thinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07424966921651648450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3213960489026233473.post-70576226993589423782009-09-30T00:20:01.057-04:002009-09-30T00:20:01.057-04:00You are sooo right.

I ...WOW, you pretty much said exactly what I think. I was raised by far far left parents, but married someone who thinks more rationally and down the middle. It has trained me to step back and look at an issue, even though I still usually fall to the left I can still at least see both ways. <br /><br />You are so right that the idiot box is more persuasive than it should and sadly most Americans can't stand up and intelligently think for themselves. <br /><br />-katekatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07177977094835269643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3213960489026233473.post-75442658876080069792009-09-28T16:23:20.241-04:002009-09-28T16:23:20.241-04:00It seems to moi the American people are still pret...It seems to moi the American people are still pretty good about having the conversation face to face where we can - almost literally - tease out a more reasonable argument and gently nudge the other person into a different perspective. <br /><br />That was the best part of the sitting around the table. Or bar. Tempers flare and brains go numb, but there's enough time to re-frame that thing we just said.booda babyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09424036488795599663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3213960489026233473.post-49909741078305091442009-09-28T15:22:41.102-04:002009-09-28T15:22:41.102-04:00I share your fear.
