As Maggie says, we have the freedom to read or ignor any or all
threads. I read and/or participate in threads that interest me. There
are 14 categories to choose from, and within those 14 many many
different threads. Pick the topics which interest you.
Figuratively we are sitting around the kitchen table enjoying a
neighbourly chat over tea. Conversations will drift to many
interesting topics including old times and current affairs -- with a
little gossip thrown in.
Regarding the 2 or 3 religious and political threads lately, I didn't
sense any ugly hostility from anyone, and that is as it should be
among neighbours.
I've been an active V.C participant for 3 years or more and I
personally think I have run out of things Verdun to add. But if
something does pop up into my two remaining brain cells I will
without a doubt throw it into the mix.

Fellow Patriots
Lend me your disbelief .
If you are not a Patriot then you are an enemy of the Republic.
To make the connection with sharing information and conversation .......
Then making the connection to use those qualifications to narrowcast propaganda is interesting .......
Further to the legal fiction of the Republic of the USA ....
There are four cornerstones of democracy.....I'll let you search them out .....
Unless my understanding of how the Republic was founded and receives it's validity is incorrect...then the facts of the suspension of disbelief in the legal fiction are ;
The Republic was built on the foundation of the Constitution ......they are integral to each other ......
No Constitution = No Republic.
Your Constitution is suspendable by Executive order .....
In event of disaster , mostly for the public good scenarios ,
however there was an executive order signed and still in place so I have to deduce that the legal fiction of the Republic and it's freedoms , does not exist today .....
Sandy as a legal secretary you can possibly identify with my discrete use of the term legal fiction......
Given that your freedom has been usurped and the propaganda machine is working overtime .....is a very interesting set of circumstances .....especially as adopted citizens .....there must really be a shit load of cognitive dissonance that is eroding yourselves , your beings .
So rather than passing on propaganda I think that if you dug really deep in your communication tool boxes...you'd find that there would be more results from communications that exhibited some personal ownership ......especially dealing with your deep experiences as immigrants ....maybe juxtraposed against Verdun.....
One of the pillars of a democracy is a balanced , or adversarial press ....those freedoms were further suspended by the Patriot act ( an oxymoron , a euphamism to make the unpalitable easier to swallow ).....
With regards to American bashing .......hey you guys chose the place.......you got it , warts and all .....
It is a given that if you want respect then ya gotta earn it .....if public opinion goes against ya then there is something that is wonky.....of course then it is really interesting to see the victomiser behaviours come out when demands are made on the differer of opinion to rationalize or justify their opinion........
There is a basic tennant of human health where ya try to take responsibility for your actions , so to balk at taking responsibility for choosing a domicile , residence , legal address , citizenship , which evokes negativity in any degree is an interesting turn of the worm......

I second that emotion. Variety is the spice of life.
