I served to protect your rights under the First Amendment, and you have that right.  My point is what you say is not civil.  It's the rude and insulting speech that I disagree with. I was taught "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all."  Following this saying most of your posts would be non existent. Attempting to be cute with your YODA statement doesn't work. My mindset is both civil and respectful. We disagree which is fine, but state facts and not just insults and your posts would be better received. Resorting to insults only make it seem you have no facts, just rants.
