Gruss - it seems you have been gone too long. You see, Eric lives in a world of absolutes - some of the best examples of this are from threads you may have missed, such as:
Only teachers are qualified to teach our children - The Great Homeschooling debate (he had a few other great generalizations in there, too, but this was by far the best) All law enforcement officials are 'bad' or corrupt - Can't recall the thread that this came up in All 'Tea Party' members are racist - pretty sure this came up more than once and, the most recent All media outlets are owned by conservatives and influence what we see/hear. Hope that sheds some light in the situation. :D On Wed, Mar 2, 2011 at 5:19 PM, Gruss Gott <grussg...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Eric Roberts <ow...@threeravensconsulting.com> wrote: > >> >> The media was pretty focused on Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya since things >> started up in Tunisia.
