Something to think about.. who are you really mad at?
Edited on Sun Aug-29-10 11:03 AM by Peacetrain
I am NOT calling anyone out, there is no address to an individual or specific group.

edit

Sometimes.. (not always, because there are dingbats everywhere) but sometimes.. I get the feeling that we are talking to each other at cross purposes.

We all want the same thing.

But we are pulling for in in different directions.. through different politicians, economists, theologians, philosophical points of view.

We are all human.. and we have a voice, and we all have a right to that voice.

Are we mad at the injustice.. or the individual poster who does not understand the full depth of our anger.

Just something to think about.. I know I can jump the gun when I feel personally attacked. I am willing to fess up to that.. I am all too human.

2. I think that there are very few "personal" attacks here. Don't
be too sensitive if someone does not see things your way. It happens.

Sadly, we are mad, and we are lashing out at the wrong things. We are helpless to attack an individual politician, or newscaster, or whoever it is we are mad at. But we can attack a post that just "doesn't get it", in our humbly opinion. Easy to do when you are hiding behind a psuedo name on an anonymous board. Don't take it to heart.

6. The War Party

Thanks for reminding me, Peacetrain.
