You know nothing about the people whom you flip off with your sarcasm. Your little one liners to Brenda, Susan, me, whoever, are oh so clever. You are making a very serious charge of hypocrisy to me, as you have made it to others, including your little cheap shot that "you* and *your family* brought freedom to the rest of us, when you wrote to Susan that "sarcastic patriots like me, and my family that fought wars to bring it [free air] to you." I suspect you have NO CLUE as to who in this forum has been in the military, who has not, and who has done what, but you give us the classic cheap, cheap shot about what *you* have done. And frankly, the issue of response to terrorism, including war, deserves more than clever bon mots of sarcasm. This is not a game. This is life and death. And there are members of this forum - not myself by the way - you spent September 11th choking in the dust of the collapsed towers. This is very real to all of us because of those connections. And you presume without knowledge of whom you are speaking to, to suggest that my politics are affected my self-interest. Well, there are a lot of people on these boards who know me and whether they agree with me on any certain thing or not,. they can evaluate your accusation for what it is worth. You have been a member here a very short time. That is fine; we were all new once, and the JMDL is strengthened, blessed, and grows with new people. But for someone so new, I find the commentary on other JMDLers to be, well, unusual. You have political positions you wish to advance, by all means, do so, a lot of us, me including, comment on political matters. But you might wish to avoid the personal attacks and cheap shots on people whom you do not know - or even on people you do - and stick to the issues without the personal comments. This is not a forum for the personal attack, for the lumping of people into stereotypical categories and making attacks. Within any given subject, we have a broad, broad range of opinions that are as diverse as a prism and reflect as many points along the spectrum as possible. I have learned much from the differing perspectives and insights of others. People here are real, varied, and diverse, and it has been respect for one another, love for another, that has allowed us to go through the most difficult of issues with free-ranging discussions.
