Well, TLOU...I would offer that you *HAD* a positive post until you wrote your last paragraph. It was then that your post went south.

Don't you think it's a little confusing and/or hypocritical to read your post-title and then have to read your last paragraph, that negatively criticizes others for posting what is passionate to them? I also was wondering how you came to the conclusion that anyone posting here hasn't already made a difference in their home community/backyard?

BTW...I agree entirely about GRDs. There will be some that are critical of things this year, but I think the effort was excellent, noting what they have been faced with.

Free-will is a wonderful thing....and is even better when it is utilized.

Sorry, kurious; I must respond to your (open) allegation. I don't hate anyone. That would be another poster here.

I think the correct phrase is obama policy bashing. Those of us who post negative things about the admin is because we do not like the policies of the admin - not individual members. If we dislike individual members we try not to express that in a public domain. We also may not respect members of the admin, not because we hate them but because of their actions - like ramming a healthcare bill down our throats that the majority of the people didn't want and congress did not read. I'm sure that doesn't satisfy you but maybe you can understand just a tad of the rancor that occurs here.

Yeah but ned....i thought the new jail was for the dangerous types...like jay walkers...i didnt know it was for lawn mowers too.......LOL
