Totally correct! Although we don't agree on every issue, that's what I love about this place. All of the information is posted (ALL of it...good and bad); we get to read it, dissect it, and come to our own conclusion. We argue, debate, and agree to disagree....but we are without a doubt some of the most informed people on the planet. After all, we seem to have "expert" opinion residing here on nearly every subject.
I too, find talk shows to be "yesterday's news" for the most part; heck...I listen to local sports talk for the better part of the afternoon...knowing I'll get the political "dish" here.
We probably are THE most widely well informed people,because there's so much posted to FR,from every corner of the globe.
