I remind you that back in the BBS and Compuserve days we still had to rely on the NY Times and CBS for news. You might even still think that Obama was actually eligible to hold the office he does.

Dang! I must have hit that "post" button more than once....impatience is a problem today!

While we did have WaPo and no Times, we did subscribe to CONTROV and POLITICS fidonet conferences wherein I learned I wasn't a liberal...the debates were hot and heavy, and nomex was needed in some flame wars...but reading the arguments back and forth is useful and valuable. Both voices need to be heard so people can think through just where they actually stand. For me, it was a true awakening....Fidonet did it. I loved it.
