very well said though…
“I have enjoyed a long life. What I miss, and will likely never see again in my lifetime is an environment in our communities that allows a free exchange of ideas among friends. Near as I can tell, it started seriously about two years ago, and I am not speaking specifically about this forum. Today, many are afraid to share ideas, even with close friends, for fear of being ostracized, ridiculed, or excluded by others. America is becoming more and more polarized, and the blow-off top, like a stock, always results in a bad ending. We are due for a bad ending. And the unfortunate fact is that we together are the cause, and we together hold the solution. But we are not together as a country, not even close enough together to listen respectfully to the thoughts and ideas that don’t agree with our own”.
This community allows a free exchange among friends, always has. I have no clue what you are talking about. Have fun out there with the rest of the world and see if they allow your “free exchange of ideas”.
Good Luck
