See? Liberalism IS a mental disorder....

Y'know, there may be no better (short) example for 'debate' than the one pointed to earlier regarding Chomsky and Buckley. The only time you get to hear a true 'debate' in this country is if you attend an academic convention or something of the like.

What passes for 'debate' in our culture is nothing more than sensationalist kabuki, and its sad.

We lower our standards to simply embrace feel-good, codified, with-us-or-against-us positions that typically never even provide a true solution.

Is it our quest to dominate (and drown out any second-thought) or simply the ego-need to be on a "winning" team? Or is it something more?

Does having the ONE way idea give us a (false) security blanket that we can cling to?
