As is your usual tendency, MLM, you had a preconceived and singular perspective as you read ... I mean mis-read my post.
I did not say that this board has become a microcosm of American "government". While that would conveniently fit into your scripted and predictable slant on anything posted here, it is NOT what I said.
What I said was American "society".
If you had taken even a moment to set aside your almost fanatical and dogged determination to cast a negative light on everything discussed here, you would have understood that I was responding to another post, lamenting the lack of civility on this board.
It is patently obvious to all who read this board , that you have no interest in listening to others, nor considering their points of view because it might interfere with your dogma.
