Old and In the Way

Reason# <I've lost count> why I love this place.

The level of spirited, intelligent debate really impresses me. Sure, there are other places on the net where you can comment on a blog post, but here, the action is happening by the minute. One post, you here what you know is the truth...next post is obviously bullshit. But then you read something that you hadn't thought of, next post completely refutes what you thought was the truth.

And that's how we learn folks. Try to find this kind of discourse on any other RW poitical site. It does not exist. Why is that? Because a smart mind can be changed by a better arguement.

That is all.

Lots of opinions, but also lots of sound arguments to be found on all sides of a matter.

And, of course, kittehs.
