Dana - of course I eat puppies, but not EVERY morning.

Classic - I think that's a great gesture but that's just treating a symptom, not finding a cure. Your posts are only a part of the problem so all this really does is reduce the volume a bit or in all honesty really just remove one of the popular targets.

IMO any "fix" that doesn't put us on the path to intelligent interaction (at least most of the time)in the politics and current events is a just a big old fail.

The report said that of six FBI investigations into ACORN-related voter fraud all had been dropped because of lack of evidence. Only cases against individuals working for ACORN were prosecuted....and ACORN provided information to local election officials that helped initiate prosecutions against their employees who may have been involved in voter registration fraud.”

The agency also found the Federal Election Commission had closed all investigations into voter fraud by the group.

GAO report

Looks to me like ACORN did nothing criminal or even unethical, on the grant side or the political/voter registration side...despite all the presumption of guilt bandied about by its political enemies.
.....contributes to a path to intellectual interaction?

OR this....

Sure...I am party of the problem and I have responded to posts in a manner that has not been constructive. I dont deny it at all.

I could choose to ignore posts/responses like the above...but tell me...isnt that "treating the symptom and not finding a cure"?

I know he's your friend...but fix that, and you have my promise that I will keep it respectful as well.
