Snowden's a traitor!
No he's NOT!

Zimmerman's a murderer!

1. Wow. You noticed that we discuss current events and we don't all agree?

Good job! You get a gold star.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

3. and despite what people may think in their many linked articles and polysyllabic words...

the discussion can be boiled down to that for and against ranting.

It would be nice if we the main discussion boards were focused on strategies and tactics for winning the house and keeping he senate in 2014.

6. Yet you chose not to start a thread on "strategies and tactics for winning the house and keeping...

the senate in 2014", but rather bemoaning current discussions instead.

Why not "be the change....?"

7. I have been and will be. just getting warmed up. Now's the time. denouement in Z trial

and kind of a dull roar on the Snowden case....

But good advice. Will be doing so. Nate Silver's analysis scared the bejeezus out of me.

9. Yes... Silver scared me too... n/t
