You pose a dumb question.

Good Lord, woman, don't read ANOTHER THING! EVER!

Because, according to you, every author is trying to tell you what to think and you are so weak, they just might succeed if you don't avoid their powerful words.

Sad.

Looks like that's really what Free Republic is becoming: a place where people post articles that no one reads because they really don't want to engage the larger debate that is out there.

Apparently, because some are too afraid their minds might be controlled by the words on a page. That the author is "trying to tell them WHAT TO THINK" and this must be resisted by NOT READING THE ARTICLE. That's just very weird.

If you don't want to debate the points made in the articles that are posted, why do you get on a thread?

It’s the ‘bot mentality, even here.
