I don't post here anymore because dogmatism is to pre-dominate and those the most dogmatic are most Republicans with some Conseratives. You can not reason with them because they are just like the Party Hardlines of the now defunct USSR.
They refuse to acknowledge Historical fact and are incapable of staying on the subject. It is no "Civil Discourse" by "muckraking" about anyone whom opposes their views and tries to present a different view... a bunch of Little Rush Limbaughs and even Limbaugh does not have the intellectual agility of a Soap dish.
I will be leaving Oklahoma, soon. I can no longer live in a house where the most pious lives under false illusions. We all have illusions but some just can't admit it borders on dillusional. I did hit Dan because he just can't leave it be and move on. He reminds me of Gutless Gus and his myopic perceptions; although most of these Republicans have acknowledged they have no control over their perceptions? If I were that out of control of my sense... well, i would leave this world by my own hand of my own Free Will but I am in control and I stay.
I wrote this to left you know my half of the story and when I get to BC, Canada, I shall renounce my Citizenship and let these "know-it-alls" go down in flames. When and if Dan dies before me, I'll dispose of this house and the land, in Nevada, to never return ever. I will die in Canada, be buried there to never see the US again. I could have went to Canada when I was Drafted but I was an American and loved this Country. Since my return, in 1974, I have not cared for Liberals nor Conservatives and distrusted Republicans and Democrats. I am a registered Democrat, to vote, but I do disgree with them, too. Just less than Republicans.
Well, I got work to do, for a 40th year Re-union, in Southern California. Then screenplays to work on before bedtime. Dan went into Shawnee to be with friends for a while, I guess. I won't say much at all to him, beause he has revealled his disrespect for me. I had to wear the Uniform, and he was in ROTC because, he did not want PE, in High school, in Nevada. He did not serve his Country but participated in a Program of the Education process.
I will remain on line for a while longer to respond about any questions.
Peace & Love,
Rachel M.
