I think a rational, live thread would be a great idea -- sort of like the one ohioWfan ran this weekend.

Have you seen the end of that thread, Carolyn? It's not rational any more.

Thanks for your part in making it accomplish exactly what I had hoped it would. It DID work.........for 48 hours anyway.

I think I'll probably stay away from FR tomorrow night. The gangs are roaming again, and rational thought is being smothered.

What happened on the other thread ONLY works with adults. And it only works with those who are self controlled.

Some people don't have it in them to be either......

"I think a rational, live thread would be a great idea -- sort of like the one ohioWfan ran this weekend."

I agree. I don't suppose we could have 2 threads: a rational one for reasonable, thoughtful discussion, and one for the Bush-bashers, trolls, one-issue (illegal immigration) folks, who I suspect aren't going to be happy and find something to b*itch about, regardless of what the President says. If we can only have 1, then I'd like to suggest that the rest of us who would like a thoughtful discussion, ignore the other posts. Anyone have any other ideas on how we can make it a productive thread rather than one full of verbal fisti-cuffs?

For those of us on the left coast:
A little over 10 hours until Pres Bush
A little over 14 hours until Jack Bauer ;-)
