39. Oh, boy! Another one of these!!

I keed! I keed!

Yes, we do need to get behind our president, but that doesn't mean we should shut down the normal exchange of differing opinions. The thing here I never understand is the penchant some have for agreement. Disagreement is normal and it is useful.

People will argue about which person likes Obama more. They'll argue about who loathes Bush the most. They'll argue about anything, because 1) they're opinionated, and 2) they enjoy arguing.

I consider these discussions public expressions by anonymous people of their most ID driven thoughts. THAT is the true value of the posts here - their basic honesty. That's why I don't get in a snit over any particular opinion. I don't get troubled by opinions, but by those who think they can nag others into agreement.

I don't care for jackasses, except when it's me.
