has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural
life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is
just as good as your knowledge.’ ~ Isaac Asimov
Oh! I *LIKE* that! And it isn't just politics - it's any controversial topic, such as the possibility that Lindberg accidentally dropped his son, himself, that will have people telling you're wrong, and WHY you're wrong before you ever finish your first sentence.
A great quote! Before discussing what this candidate or that said about somebody's wife, let us please first discuss what the President does (and doesn't do), and what we see as an "ideal" President and why. Then, with civility, look at which candidates most closely match that ideal.
