1. We should have as many as people want to start, but only donors should
be allowed to post in them... :)

13. Other
Because we are losing sight of what makes us a better alternative to the Republicans.

Because we are starting to lose our capacity for compassion.

Because we are becoming "THEM".

15. Quite a lot fewer, I bet
now that Head Wreck Beck has announced that it was good & proper to allow the MF to burn. The 'cool kids' aren't flaunting their hard-nosed callousness so vigorously any more.

41. This has spawned so many threads because it is a great divide.
Progressives unite around certain concepts, one of which is the need for public services to exist for everyone, as a right of being alive in this country. If you are in a wreck, we will come get you. If you are bleeding, we will take you to a hospital and get emergency treatment. We will do some things as a matter of respect for your needs as a human.

Reaganites attacked that, with Randian thinking and a lack of respect for the universality of the human conditiion. They invented this kind of "pay for services" attitude. Many who have grown up with that accept it, as if it was right and good.

Most of us are on the humanitarian side of that divide, and we typically find offense at all things Reagan and Rynd.

50. More than 50 posted to in GD in just the last 8 hours
yet, strangely, only one person has voted 'the more the merrier'.

Some of those were started yesterday...

Hiding 67, on edit 68, threads, as I've done today on this topic, just in GD, is a bit much, however.

Funny thing is that I started the poll just to lighten things up.
