While the polarization that exists elsewhere exists here also, Brin-L has not succumbed lately to the overt bashing one can plainly see elsewhere. There is a *wide* diversity of opinion here, and while one can see that some of us have emotional investments in their positions, everyone has been pretty consistent about containing the discussion to the issues and maintaining the civility of the discussion. ( I know a couple of you want to disagree, but please think about this a bit before you do so, if you are so inclined.) This war is a HOT topic. And the usual suspects who we have seen vent at each other onlist (I have to include myself in that), have not allowed the discussion to become a fight. Everyone should be proud. There is hope for eventual peace if Brin-L looks better than the cable channel political talk shows. xponent Together Maru rob I awoke this morning Love laid me down by the river Drifting I turned on up stream Bound for my forgiver In the giving of my eyes to see your face Sound did silence me Leaving no trace I beg to leave, to hear your wonderous stories _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
