I wouldn't have wasted my time in this forum if I didn't believe what I was writing---but you're going to have to be more specific---As I said to "Perplexed" (and hats off to you for using your name), are you a disaffected liberal or a scornful "conservative"?

As far as the horrible oppression of the last 8 years(?), of having to be PC, and maybe having to check racist/bigoted views at the door of public discourse---It sounds like a First World problem.  We've been acting on the world stage with our military, the lives of our young men and women in uniform, and that world is for the most part poor, and getting poorer.  Isn't it time we started acting like adults and being responsible for the principles of our own founding documents---Or would you rather resort to genocide?
