Although it can sometimes be mindless, true,it's _never_ irrelevant; it's a basic right, it's a fundamental part of the process of democracy. It's Voltaire, defending to the death your right to be completely wrong. It's the 1st amendment. Without the critics, without the disagreement, democracy is meaningless, defanged, not worth defending. So by all means argue with Beau and me, but don't ever accuse us of working against democracy and not appreciating it. We ARE democracy.

Good point.I just wish that sometimes the bad guys would cop a bucketing, and not just our side.
Sigh.

I agree with you there.Probably because Saddam and Osama and Co. have much smaller PR departments, there's a lot less material to work on.
