Long time member (2004) mainly lurker, few posts. I really like Mineral Man's thoughts, but he's a fellow Minnesotan

Reading the more recent posts from members who lack........ the experience acquired only after decades of living and I am left with indelible thought; I hope none of you ever bathe infants. Why, it might pee in the tub and then you would be forced to throw the baby out with the bathwater. You see, I'm concerned about the children.

Peace,

1. Is that akin to "don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good"?

4. Oh these are all just nuggets of folk rural wisdom i heard growing up in Shakopee in the 70s

"Don't throw out the baby with the bathwater"
"Sometimes the sky isn't falling, it's just rain."
And one of my favorites, which I turned into a maxim
"The road to hell is paved with good intentions"

Peace,

5. So, you have a problem...

with something that some people here have been posting?

That narrows it down.

Really now, if you are going to go to the trouble to write about it, do tell.

6. Well mr. Pastorious, nice handle btw, I just named myself after an obscure indie comic book character.

No , I don't have specific instances, but it us an overall trend I've noticed. We democrats have always been harder to organize than a herd of cats, but it seems lately that people can't see past their issue du jour, and have very little actual knowledge about the subject other than pamphlet level parroting and their "feewings". I see a lot of inter democratic party sniping about whether that tree is an Elm or Larch, and whether you're just another anti-Larch asshole. Guess what, you're in a fucking forest, and no one gives a shit how many angels can dance on the head of your personal pin.
