I have a legitimate question for all the liberals...

I appreciate the respect of your post. I understand the disappointment you mentioned and I share it. With two in diapers and the extended hours of my job, it just doesn't allow the time necessary to do the research needed. I don't mean any disrespect towards being well read. Most of my limited knowledge comes reading here and there. I just meant that in the last decade, my experiences have strenghened my conservative views.

 

Wild Bill, with healthcare reform, I hope you can soon finally seek treatment for the underlying condition that results in you having to wear a double layer of diapers.

j/k actually a very nice post. I am a book learnin kind of guy, but sometimes I question its merit versus very broad life experiences. When I once thought I was a writer, I asked my very favorite writer what her most basic advice would be to young writers, and she said "quit writing, and go out and live. Write when you've lived, a lot, and have something to say."

 

In life's crapstorms, experience might warn you of the incoming crap and will quickly make you aware of the need to seek shelter from the crap. Book learning enables you to build a condo to get in out of the crap. But sometimes that only happens after you have enough experience to get in out of the crap.
