Thread: Politics and Religion

Some people say that politics and religion are "taboo" subject matter and should be avoided.....as if discussing some worthless TV show or celebrity gossip bullhit is a better alternative.

I couldn't disagree more, and think that politics and religion are among the MOST important things to discuss. That's why I'm glad ya'll welcome as much educated debate and civil discourse as possible, even on touchy subjects.

That said, I think if people spent half as much time writing, calling or e-mailing their ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES as they do debating these topics on the internet (or anywhere for that matter) our country would be a much better place.....and maybe the voice of THE PEOPLE would finally begin to outweigh the voice of the lobbyists, fat cats, corporations and P.I.G.'s

I don't agree with everyone on this forum about every issue, but I still want to encourage everybody to CALL, WRITE OR E-MAIL your congressperson, senator, county council people, local sewer district commisioner, whatever!! Just let them know we're watching them and WE THE PEOPLE will hold them accountable!!! You've read this far, so you obviously have some time to waste....do it RIGHT NOW!!! GIVE 'EM HELL!!! And next time you find yourself drawn into debate in a politics/religion thread, STOP!! Instead of writing a novel on some blog or forum, direct your opinions where they'll (hopefully) make the most difference. Most politicians (ie. smart ones who wanna keep their job) pay very close attention to feedback from their constituents.....soooooo, I'm gunna go take my own advice....right............NOW!!!!
