Is anyone's opinion changed?

Are the folks in these debate *movers and shakers* who can really impact
world or national affairs?

Is a positive contribution to national or world affairs made as a result of
these debates?

Nope on all counts.

While I have been a major player in these discussions in the past I have now
called it quits for the most part....you can say I have seen the light (and
it ain't pretty). ;-)

So why continue with this garbage folks? Exactly what is the *purpose* of
these political debates?

An inquiring mind wants to know. ;-)


I've found that almost everyone here agrees with you and me now. They may not
admit it, but that's the way they truly feel. If Bush were running again, Harry
would vote for him because of the arguments he's lost.
