> i agree strongly that there needs to be some leeway on politics w/o PBC/PBS's. if i want to be able to post my opinion of a *leader*, president of the country that i live in, i am fully aware that there will be people that feel different and post their support of that person. there is always a line where yes, the civil guidelines play a factor but not for statements/facts for the public that are posted in newspapers and on CNN, etc., or even light hearted humor. i get so wound up in watching what i say that my point gets lost. my above PBS was b/c i agreed w/ VA and the impeachment process that was a published article?! I do not agree w/ that but just my opinion..TJ, talk to you when you get back...
wildcard, i agree completely. I will tell whoever is interested in the state of the U.S. a brief story, and then I must go. I was reading my local newspaper, and stories describing events and actions much like those wildcard saw on CNN (I do not know what channels those hurt by her post watch, or what newspapers they read; perhaps the ones in which Donald Rumsfeld has been busy planting stories). And in between these appalling and disturbing stories, and angry editorials, there was an advertisement for a theme park. Set in Colonial Williamsburg, where one can play a game called "rebellion against oppression."
as if our history is now a theme park and our struggles reduced to the price of admission.
no more from me.
and consider the example of vermont.
