Ahhh, but you see the point of that was that the argument I was
commenting on was drudging through the US vs THEM territory that the 2
party system seems to bring out in people. If someone wants want to
claim that their party is right about everything all the time, surely
their party has produced things much more quote worthy than "the other
guys" have. Personally I have no party preference and I find the petty
fantasy bullshit everyone gets caught up in to be tiresome and
aggravating because it prohibits solutions and encourages foot dragging
and finger pointing... about shit everyone is only speculating on at
this point no less.

For the record, I'm not saying everyone that is a member of whatever
party gets caught up in the petty junk and group think. Unfortunately
the ones we tend to hear from just tend to be the loudest, least
rational, and least likely to try and understand others' points of view
and have useful dialog with them about it.

Cheers,
