In defense of OTs

Sure, we could take our political/social rants to a more appropriate
site, full of strangers. Here,we are at least aquaintences. We've
talked about soup and rice and dog nose what else. We have some
context (Even if, I confess, I can't always keep straight who said
what)

Better spew from an idiot you sorta know than spew from a random,
annonymous idiot.

Think globally, argue locally.

And, we are generally polilte enough to make separate threads. Don't
read 'em if you don't want to.
