We must eliminate Chavez.

I jump on OAO for the WAY he thinks, not the thoughts themselves. I think mostly he cares a lot more about pumping more hot air into his own human dirigible self than the content of any stand he takes, I think he's way too glib and I think, especially when pushed, he emits buzz words and phrases like a squid emits ink and for the same reasons.

Would you put his suggestion that we 'eliminate' a foreign head of state in the 90% that makes sense or the 10% that doesn't? I'm just curious, it's not like I can fault you either way since currently reserveing the right to 'eliminate' whomever we please is part of US official foreign policy.

As far as the country getting better, I think that's pretty subjective and I strongly disagree. I can only say my opinion is the country is getting way worse, but that has a lot to do with what I think America ought to be. If you're using some sort of factual yardstick to judge the condition of the country, you ought to say what it is. Until then, I'll stick with my opinion of OAO and when he needs jumping on.

Thanks, though. And I'm glad you love this board. I do too.
