I don't know why I got tweeked off, but it seems to me that there is a plethora of Thinkspeak coming from everywhere... I do understand that these are trying times for this country, but it doesn't require that we STOP BEING AMERICANS... I've always been a patriot, I served my country, etc... I also understand that love of country is akin to love of wife - you are only infatuated if you love her and ignore her warts. You have to love HER, warts and all to truly be in love.

I've been on boards that operated in the manner that TGTBTU does, but it was never STATED... What ever happened to the "good old days" when unpopular views were simply shouted down? Whatever happened to shunning?
