Not insecure at all, I give you my credentials to let you know that you don't need to lecture me on how things are. And if you're trying to point out this is a hooker board, maybe stop talking on a hooker board like you are the smartest guy in the room. Telling me how Congress works, etc. And if my comments are so pathetic, stop responding and they will go away. That's even more pathetic that you have to respond to something so irrational and lacking intelligence. And it's not that all arguments are invalid. The arguments are pretty much all our opinions and you are going to think your opinion is right and intelligent. I will think the same and therefore we are just talking pass each other. As for thicker skin, these comments are entertaining to me. As I said, I've been in government in some form for awhile. As for going to play in the national political forum, I don't think it's worth the time. If the convos are like this, it would be boring. Especially since this is only a hooker board. I will save it for real world discussions.

Arguments are more than mere opinions, millsy. Did you study the Federalist papers? Did our Founders think all arguments were equal? Jefferson said all men are created equal, not all ideas. Every election is a competition of ideas. People who work in government (or "public service"... cough, cough) like you want bigger government. People who have to pay for it and don't see results favor smaller government. At the end of the day, the better argument wins. And if it doesn't, it gets a chance the next time around. That's how democracy works.
