This place can be hysterical at times [View all]

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by TexasTowelie (a host of the General Discussion forum).

Duggars, TLC, RUNN!!!!

There are serious issues with that, and have to do with sexual abuse and molestation and how we as a society treat that. But most comments have none to do with that. Nor do I expect a good discussion on sexual abuse, or how police deal with this, or the connections of money, fame and a two tier legal system.

While you are all fixated on that, and get all tied in knots over the State Department release of a certain group of emails, as part of a much larger release. you all miss in that the real nuggets, continuities from administration to administration on policies, PNAC and the global war on terror. (Free clue, it's failed, massively and the failure will be laid at the feet of the present administration by many historians in the future, never mind the roots go well to the 1990s, and in a few strains to our policy in Afghanistan under Reagan. But we are Americans and deep long thinking is not our thing)

So with that, let the alerts come and the inevitable lock. Never mind that I would like, not expect it, an actual discussion on this stuff. You know the important stuff... not navel gazing,

By the way TLC thanks you, what is the old adage in marketing? Oh yes, I don't care what you say about me, as long as you spell it right.
