<DIV>I think we're all still here and just waiting for someone to start up a
good conversation. Maybe everyone just ran out of things to talk about
that were politically correct and would not offend anyone. As for me, I
would welcome a little controversy every now and then, as long as people stay on
subject and not use their disagreements as an excuse for personal attacks.
I think controversial subjects, discussed in a civil manner, are an excellent
learning tool and can broaden ones horizons. I also think that anyone who
cannot handle controversy and disagreement in a civil manner without resorting
to personal attacks and without attempting to stifle and censor such
conversations should remain silent until he/she overcomes that deficiency.
Just the opinion of one old codger who has seen too many conversations turn bad
because someone resorted to personal attacks instead of using his/her
brain.</DIV>
