Etc, etc. Sorry, there would be little discussions here or anywhere, if so since almost all of our knowledge comes via hearsay. We are not in a courtroom; the Rules of Evidence and associated case law are not in effect.

My opinion differs from the norm on climate change, so when someone posts something about it I often disagree. Sometimes I like to respond as if it were a public mailing list.

>> One person’s obsession is another’s passion, you know. Personally, I’m grateful we have longer term community members on the Viz who value community history. There are some who’d like us to forget about things like SSAIW & religiously motivated local laws pushed by their own personal lobbyists actually on the city council & board of county commissioners . . . and that unsuccessfully tried to run stealth anti-public education candidates for the school board. There are some who’d like us to forget the role of certain local religious factions in Proposition 8 & in boycotting “immoral” local businesses so they can whine with phony “righteous indignation” when individuals choose not to patronize their businesses. And, there are some who’d like us to forget all about certain local churches that have been caught dead to rights – and more than once -- violating the conditions of their tax exemption status by partisan politicking from the pulpit.

>> Your “obsessing” comment is yet another in a long line of examples of your dismissive, condescending, and patronizing jabs at those who disagree with you. You’re not the only one, of course, but you – as are others – are pretty consistent about it. You might do well to pay more attention to the plank in your own eye than to the speck you perceive in the eyes of others.
