Here's a different slant on this forum
There are all kinds of views here today re: Rice, Gonzales, Clinton, etc., and while some people are put off by them, I'm not.

I'm hearing all kinds of different views - some I find far-fetched, others not. The dialog here on both sides of the issues at times is both interesting and informative.

At the risk of answering my own question, am I nuts?

2. Nope, not nuts at all
I enjoy watching differing points of view come across as well as observing how well they are supported by data, facts, etc.,....helps me crystallize my opinions.......

3. You are not nuts.
I kind of enjoy watching the fur fly. I try to stay out of it for the most part. :)

4. You are totally nuts, DU is pretty monolithic re: Rice & Gonzales
Which "both sides" are you talking about?

5. Quite possibly, yes...
but you made a good point, in a brief window of lucidity.

7. I like it too. others want everybody to agree with each other
or shut up. that gets old and who learns if everybody is "yessing" each other to death. To hell with the cumbaya shit, lets DEBATE!!! :)

8. I like it too. Its one of those days were everyone is
entitled to an opinion and wants to vent it. I like seeing it. Should make us all feel better and get our focus back.

9. You might be nuts -- but nothing in your post indicates it.
I mean, just saying the dialog on both sides is "interesting and informative" is not exactly going very far out on a limb. Kind of cautious and impossible to disagree with, actually. :-)

11. Nope!
What you are witnessing, friend, is the beautiful chaos that is DEMOCRATIC DISCUSSION. Isn't it so much more beautiful to behold that the group-think lock-step thought on our nemesis site that is so shackled in mind and spirit, the so called, "Free Republic"?
