He has a photo, he appears to be Irish?!

@Buck You're right. Nice ears, too.

@Buck No he's from Devon, a small country almost attached to England, which thinks that it is independant. (Think Newfoundlanders.) (They are very inbred, which could account for the ears. )

I understand why you think that I may be a troll. I prefer not to reveal much about myself to others, on the Internet that is; I have suffered cyberstalking in the past.

Agreed. Extremes in any direction are usually totally counterproductive.
We've seemingly lost the ability to find much in the way of balance.

@KKGator Hi Gator. Over the years I've sat back and observed how the two political sides treat each other, and your last sentence above is very true albeit alarming. A few days ago was chatting with someone who leans to the right, and I tried politely explaining to him that claiming to support individual liberties while trying to actively restrict women's abortion rights is an authoritarian approach in nature, and he responded with an angry tirade and called me a liberal (as if that's an insult or something) and a communist sympathizer. On the flip side, can't tell you how many times I've been called a fascist for supporting the Second Amendment. No balance indeed, damned if I do and damned if I don't, at times feel like just giving up. What a mess the political and social situations have become in our country.

@SpikeTalon I'm about over it.
People suck.
