definitely - we are all good folks here. most of us fairly well versed in what's happening in the world, and we ALL give a shit about our country. we just get passionate when discussing it.
Interesting is that we're all just reguirgitating our own wrong interpretations of facts fed to us by 2 or more sets of liars (repubs and dems). None of us "really" know what's going on in the world, in the annals of decision and deal making. We're just arguing about what our channel on the boob tube told us.
however - there is on equalizer. From the world's leaders to the world's paupers, and everyone in between, there are always two constants. Whether you're a neotaint dem, a bedwetting lib, or a global realist, you all have two things in common:
1) We all sit down every day and drop a load. You are a disgusting being for those 5 minutes, and you all share it. no one is better than anyone in this aspect.
2) We will all die and face the unknown one day. It's inevitable, and all the money, power, organs, and technology in the world can only postpone organ failure. No matter how smart, rich, cool you are, you are destined to become earth feed. And, the longer you live, the more disgusting you look.

So we're all on the same team on the same scary unknown ride. We just wear different colored socks.
