Being somewhat new your ideas and posts always sound fresh and thoughtful, while everything that everyone else says seems a little stale. I think if we keep things new it will invite more new members who will in turn keep things new, and the Underground regulars might participate too. It's a very positive cycle. The left/right, Dem/Rep back and forth is old; time to grow up now.
well put, Mazer...

while i often disagree you, i always enjoy the thoughtfulness of your posts and i especially appreciate the civility of your tone. the Liberal/Conservative thing does get very old, indeed and it's a shame that anyone who attempts to establish some middle ground in a discussion is usually marginalized with one label or another. i'd like to think i avoid that with anyone other than the obvious usual suspects, but i'm probably guilty of it to some extent as well.

i always find it striking that the extremes on both sides dominate the discussion here, much as they do nationally and in the media....
