And we are not Western Europe. I don't know if you are serious in that statement, or just expressing your dismay/exasperation at the result of the elections in hyperbole. I just kinda *facepalm* when both sides go to the hyperbolic rhetoric well. It doesn't help a civil discourse and it doesn't lead to working together for the common good when people on both sides go all alarmist on each other.

Makes sense right? Puts bacon on the table for you. {nm} websch01ar Nov 07, 15:56

Come on dude. I'm being open with you. Theres no need to be dismissive because we disagree {nm} RogerMore Nov 07, 17:57

I am not dismissing you bro. We are all bound to our experiences and whatever values we hold to. websch01ar Nov 08, 04:59

Sure you are - that's why you said that I think the way I do because I am paid to do so. RogerMore Nov 08, 08:18
