virus: Whatever happened to the middle?

Whatever happened to the more reasoned middle ground here? I thought =
that after the last few weeks, things would calm down a little and =
people could get to workgin together again. Am I the only one with such =
expectations?
I'm not sayin that I havn't chosen sides many a time. I'm not one to =
waffle on the fence. But I don't go about contributing to the =
"idolatarian" behaviour common on the left here, or the right wing =
prosthelitizing and spamming of Joe. Sure, I have contributed here and =
there, but I doubt you could find more than a couple that I initiated, =
and few more that I have added a post or two.=20
What's the point or benefit to the CoV of either pole? They both drive =
the list into political waters. And though almost all of us agree on =
most things, this area is bound to cause trouble every single time. =
We'll agree on abortion, cloning, the value of education, the origin of =
life, god, and a million other things. But the very notion that Dick =
Chaney is a prophet (I'm not saying I agree or disargee) is causing an =
uproar. What a waste of brain power. He may as well have predicted that =
the sun will come up tomorrow. Here is my prediction: One day, men will =
fight with light that burns. When this happens, I want you all to =
remember that I am the sole predictor!
You would think that we would have better things to be doing. Joe, if =
many are sick of political posts, and you know it, just back off on em'. =
I doubt that there is any benefit in continuing when you know that doing =
so will cause others to respond in such a harsh manner. If many of us =
cringe when America is used for a verbal punching bag, then perhaps =
people, the "Idolatarians"should be more specific and less broad in =
their insults of the people and their country. Many seem to have =
forgotten that it is rude to look up from the breast of the country from =
which you are succling, and then complain about the taste. If you are =
going to complain so loudly, let it at least be politely and accurately.
