I took a beating on the Stephen Colbert sight for creating a post about Bush's nomination of a Latino Senator for Congress. I can take it, I'm a big buy. I did expect the backlash, but I admit I didn't think I was going to feel like I was swimming in the piranha infested section of the Amazon.

Regardless, I do appreciate the feedback, but it does reinforce three truths (of course this is based on my own personal experience) about most Americans.

1. That the art of listening is quickly disappearing, or in this case the blog world, people do not read and analyze thoroughly what a person states. At times, I have even been guilty of it; on rare occasions of course.

2. Despite the progress of race relations over the last fifty years, we still have issues when it comes to the race.

3. People do not know how to agree to disagree. I was making the effort to even those who were being belligerent, but they were able to push my buttons hard enough for me to stoop down to their level even though I didn't have to make that choice.

So Poolfart: Even though we have our clashes I enjoy them and learn a lot.

Arch 24: Sorry for saying you have a foot disease. I let the heat of the moment get the best of me.

I might be changing my ways. Just a little bit at least.

I do have to say, despite my dislike for Bill Mahr's views and clashes with you on this site, at least all of your are more objective and at least make the effort to be objective. Those guys on Colber's sight can be savages with no mercy.
