Archie, you have been on this planet almost as long as me, a few years less, maybe. You should know by now that POLITICS and RELIGION are 2 areas of topics that cause the most arguments among people and groups. That is why those 2 topics should not be allowed on this BOARD!! RELIGION has been the cause of most of the wars that have ever been fought since time began on this planet and more people have died defending their religous beliefs. SPORTS is in a different category, altogether!! You know that, Archie, do not be naive in this matter! Even tho people do get killed at Soccer games in some countries at times, it cannot compare to Politics and Religion. This THREAD now is much too long and probably will continue for days and weeks as long as members continue to put forth Polical jokes and the nonsense that goes with it. As I said previously I am a DEMOCRAT and LIBERAL and I am proud of it. And if Neal Silverman continues to espouse his REPUBLICAN philosopies, I will continue to oppose him.
