"There's Nothing in the Middle of the Road but Yellow Stripes and Dead Armadillos" Jim Hightower-TX writer-politician
I disagree with Hightower.
What you will find here is: a centrist's view of current events;
a collection of thoughts, arguments, and observations
that I have found appealing and/or amusing over the years;
and, if you choose, your civil contributions which will make it into a conversation.

You might feel tugged into it coincidentally by comments such as these on a Washington Post discussion - Gabrielle Giffords shooting in Tucson: Did it stem from state of political discourse?

Probably Mr. Meaner is NOT a centrist.
ReplyDeleteWill this slow the rhetoric? I see the questions was asked on 1/9 and I think we already have the answer.
ReplyDeleteThese discussions (surrounding the shooting) are coming so fast and furious that comments are fragmented. I tried to discover what MrMeaner was replying to but gave up after a while.
ReplyDeleteA post on large gun clips on Huffingtonpost has gone to 48 pages and 4000+ posted comments since original post at 6:47 last night ... and not all of the comments submitted are being posted. (Not a speculative observation since I tried to post last night and it never made it into the discussion.)
