Sign up another one for intellectual stimulation. Some of you have quite a handle on the political and religious realm, and puts my knowledge to shame. I enjoy reading the debates and learning more... well, for the most part anyway.

Some of the posters here do get very very grating to see after a while.

I might still only be a half-grown pup pacing the porch, but your "enjoy reading the debates and learning more" strategy is exactly how I learn. By watching from one or more vantage points around the edge of the arena, one can not only hear more things objectively but also study techniques. So yes, great entertainments with some lesson-examples noted and many mind-filling opportunities here!
