I have found that if a agree with a certain group of people that my new status is never questioned or I am welcomed with open arms, if I disagree with that same group of people then all of a sudden I have no right to say anything because I haven't been hear long enough so I know nothing. I'm going to say something here that I said on another thread. If seniority means so much does that mean that everybody in the senate has to agree or defer to Sen. Byrd or Kennedy or whoever has been there long. Seems to me we elect new people because we want no ideas or people to shake things up.
MSNBC reporting the AP says the Pope has died.
Fox now is reporting the AP report.
Ahhhh the seniority card! Reminds me of my being amazed, when I moved to Massachusetts, of the number of people who claimed that their ancestor had been on the Mayflower. My first thought was "and your point would be?" Am I supposed to be bold over? But then, as the saying goes, if everyone who claims to have been on the Mayflower had been on the Mayflower it would have sunk!
This is a wonderful forum and the ideas on it should be responded to independently of whether they come from an FR newbie or an older pilgrim.
