Lounge of Tomorrow - View Single Post - In which I try to successfully mini-YAGE

To me, a discussion is the exchange of opinions and ideas that may (or may not) edify, challenge or even cause someone to see another viewpoint. Too often, I see them degenerate into the Monty Python sketch "I'd Like To Buy An Argument". Oh, and I sorta YAGE'd first in the McCain thread, but then I got sucked back in. (I then backed out again). Still, if it gets on track (if it ever was) I'll happily jump back in. Alex, you are one of the few who can actually present at least two sides to every point, and I learn a lot from your posts. I've even changed my mind about a thing or two based on your informative writings and I look forward to reading them, even if I don't agree sometimes.
