You always have something worthwhile to offer, Draggie-doll. Just because a subject is concerned with politics is no reason to argue, HOWEVER, after abandoning my farming life many years ago, I now have an overwhelming aversion to anyone dropping cow piles from any breed of bull on the floor. This forum has always been dedicated to a free exchange of viewpoints from all sides and ranges of the political spectrum, however, it is an insult to all the readers here when someone uses mindless twaddle, senseless hatred based entirely on bigotry and/or idealogical partisanship founded attempts to pervert the truth knowingly or through sheer warped ignorance. We learn more from those who hold differing views than we ever can from only speaking with those who hold similar views to our own. Many of my thoughts have been shaped by those here who hold beliefs in opposition to my own in discussions that took place in this forum.

No one can learn anything of any value from outright falsehoods based entirely in mindless hatred and bigotry. Those who resort to such tactics steal from us all and I cannot, and will not, permit such odious behavior to go unchallenged. Each of us must be seen by our own set of lights, as we set those lights aglow here with our words. Should your bulbs be dimmed because of your lack of personal integrity, then expect to be told so in no uncertain terms here.

I reject as disgusting the belief that ALL men are libidinous animals incapable of thinking with any portion of their bodies beyond their penises. I find it particularly repulsive when someone claims some measure of excuse for the sleazy, inappropriate and unethical actions of any unprincipled man (or woman)- of ANY political or social group "because EVERY man (woman) would do the same thing." That is a patent lie on the face of the statement and such untruths MUST be challenged. The ONLY "truth" that can be derived from such an assertion is that the one making such a statement obviously shares the lack of moral values of the person he or she defends.

I happen to believe that there are many good, moral people - both male and female - who, when faced with the temptation to behave sleazily, have no difficulty whatsoever in acting within admirable codes of conduct. Were it not so, then I have wasted a lifetime of trying to remain alive and so shall we have all. If the one who says such things is correct, then I don't want to know, or be associated with, those people.

You see, precious Draggie, I value you and all of the others here and me too much to ever allow anyone to get away with that kind of deprecating, demeaning insult.

And, that dear kiddies, is what I DO know!
