Irish,

It is amazing what you can learn when you open your ears and close your mouth, huh?! There is an old saying (and I'm paraphrasing here...) Give many your ears and few your voice. You don't have to believe everything you hear, but isn't it better to hear and judge for yourself, than to remain ignorant?

Catch 22,

True every society has grunts, and I think the US has more than its share , but I'm very glad that I didn't just "buy-into" what I was told. I would have missed a wonderful opportunity!! Critical thinking is a skill that everyone should develop, I think...

jseal,

The internet's ability to link different people with different ideas and values is one of its strenghts!! I'm very glad that we can all gather together!
