    Also what I have found is that many people don't actually have an intellectual basis for their worldview. Much of it is based on emotion and guess what happens when you try to debate under those circumstances?
    Frank,
    There are quite a few world leaders who share your view and are currently befuddled.

    This is EXACTLY why I stay away from the birds politics thread. People mainly debasing one another, name calling etc. I’d like to “think” that the age difference (which I know doesn’t always translate into more of a maturity level) on this forum comparatively would be much more civil. What we are witnessing as a nation, especially in politics, is anything but. I would hope that it could be different here and would remain cautiously optimistic but I might be disappointed in my expectations.

    For the record, this is me exhibiting tolerance right this minute.
