I know people, honorable people who have served and do serve at GTMO, so I did not like that comment. And GTMO is no secret either. But much as I disliked that clip, I saw valid points on both sides. My question to those (and I use this term loosely) 'debating' in this post is "Can ALL of you admit that both sides had valid points?" We don't always have to like or agree with what another says but that does not mean it is not a valid point. Reading this post is like watching that clip again...each side wants the last word, each side wants to trump the other. Name calling and pissing contests are what children resort too. I DO beleve America is going down hill. Sometimes people use extreme comparisions to "shock" people into paying attention. To, yes, "get their heads out of the sand." But if both sides of a debate just trade jabs at each other, insult each other, and ignore each others points infavor of their own then what is the point? WHAT PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE? It's like having two hens, one clucking in each ear. All you want to do is wring their necks instead of feed, nurture and protect them. Playing the game of 'One-upmanship' just makes both sides look bad and make me want to stop paying attention. You all are so smart and well read and have such great points but they're getting lost because of the shit slinging fest occuring. I plain to read her book knowing that I will agree with things and not agree with others, but I still want to learn what she has to say, what she has learned. And then I will get on with my life accordingly, not even remembering her name. Just some of her points.
