On the Politics of Shame

[H2O Man]

3. Thank you!

I enjoy debating as much as anyone. Growing up in a poor Irish-American family, on a small farm in "the sticks," my brothers and I argued for recreation. Any given topic, there were three distinct views. As the youngest, I had to hone my skills in order to compete with intelligent brothers.It seems like a family tradition, when I consider my elders, and the younger generations.

But some of the things on here recently have been unnecessary.
