the NRA has million dollar suits, who compose soundbytes, that are professionally parsed & edited

every last word is published being the perfect word the NRA wants.

I just am one person with zero funding and well, no, don't use a proof reader

but then, the good points I make in a long thing, are taken by others and similiar things are said in a more professional way, minus the filler.

yes, it is true, sometimes I don't realize which paragraph is the important one til later, then I try and make a new post on just that section.

if you want to hire me a proof reader, be my guest.

(and NO, I did not nor ever say you were the NRA, or anyone specific. I said the NRA as an example).

when you have ways of looking at things, there is no absolute that President Obama could do at this time to please 100% of the time.
Therefore, I look for the 10% gain, not the 100% of nothing.

so instead of going personal on me, go with the parts that you feel are important and argue that.

Me, I am like juror #8. I listen and take off from there. And if too many people all of a sudden from the other side move over, or have that view, I sit back and think, why all of a sudden do they want that, when they never wanted that, and may again rethink my position.
Or remain with it.
So I do listen to everything. But i will question angles and motives of others.
