Youre right, it doesnt. That is why I can disagree with others on here and still respect their opinion. To me, it is all about how someone arrives at a particular conclusion that counts...in an exchange of ideas. I do not respect the opinion of someone who forms it based on whatever a particular group decides for them. Like I said, you read like a pamphlet and you show a lack of knowledge of even the most basic political terms. Its not that we disagree, its that you are clueless. Ask CrewChick if I have called her ignorant, or LOAL-D or some other pretty smart folks on these board who happen to subscribe to a different political ideology than I do. Just because you dont fit into the smart group doesnt mean I think everyone who shares your ideology to be stupid. If you actually read some of my posts (I know it is not your style to read disagreeing opinions) you would see that from time to time I ask my own questions of others to find out something I dont know. Do not confuse my confidence in my intelligence or my point of view with hubris or the assumption that I know everything or am at "the height of intelligence". That observation of yours again proves that you do not know what you speak of...again defining the word IGNORANT. And you are proof that age does not necessarily equate wisdom.
