Reply #16: Who is saying shut up ? [View All]

[Crassus]

"When somebody joins DU just to tell us to shut up--it means we should not shut up."

Bridget, I'm unclear, but are you claiming I have ulterior motives in this discussion?

I can assure you that at heart I am a skeptic for all issues - both the left and the right; both the authoritarian and the anarchist.

That phrase came from my brain just like the rest of my posts, and the content similarly. I'm new to the board, but I'm not asking you to shut up.

I'm asking you to keep a skeptical, but investigative view of the world in which data promotes thought, not suspicion.

I know well the circle of operation for the CIA and what sorts of actions they take - it can be as brutal and dehumanizing as anything done by man to man. Does that mean, that in this case, a good women was slain by shadowy covert operatives when other more likely explanations abound ?

I'm not saying shut up, I'm saying keep it real.
