Because the sleeping tiger is awakening, you will see a larger number of average citizens participating in this forum. If your wisdom is being attacked, or the quality of threads lowered, then is it not up to you to continue on revealing the truth and raising the standard? Are you going to stay home and not vote?
I'm going to. You know why? It's because every last Republican running for any office, at any level, in every district and jurisdiction across this entire country is a RINO, that's why? In fact, I'm going to start a nationwide third party solely so I can split the vote and try to make every last Republican across all 57 states lose.
It is also just the nature of the movement of the Internet. When FR first started, fewer people had the internet, it was far more work and time consuming to be active on it, and the concept of Web 2.0 was years away. Now, every 5 year old has a computer and cell phone with web access, speeds are blazing, and no technical knowledge is needed at all. Natural result is a greater diversity of thought and attitude jumping in.
