I like wild unfettered and opinionated debate. I want you to put up or shut up. Give me some facts. Do your dead level best to persuade me because that is what I'm going to do to you. I expect dignity and respect to go along with spirited debated unless you act like a donkey and then I'll tell you you're an ass.
To just avoid conversation or even confrontation is just cowardice. What does it say in scripture about spitting out the lukewarm? That's how I feel about it.

Sarah Palin would make a swell president.
President of what?
Roseann, if you read my post from the wait outside before Mary Landrieu's town meeting, you will see that I speak my piece, however, the conversation was not always civil and respectful.
Here, Here!
There are so many people who seem to think discussing important issues is like farting, something a civil person does not do in public. I think exchange of views on the most important issues is not only a right but our duty. Thanks for helping me see there are others who speak out. Keep it up!
Amen.
:D
Ro - I absolutely love this. Imagine that. Coming from someone who so never managed to speak her mind...BTW - did you see the pic of Hattie and I? If not, I will copy and send...
I don't like discussing politics or religion. People get upset and neither side can prove anything beyond that's the way they were brought up or the way they make their money.
Well Brian, what can I say. You'd fit right in with my family.
Brian,
One affect of speaking up is often that you give courage to another person who wanted to speak up but didn't dare. It's like the little boy who cried out "The Emperor has no clothes!" Once somebody says it, it cannot be denied.
