I've expressed support for the Jimmy Carter studied view of matters Israel and often voiced my dislike for Netanono here so, yep, place me more in the veterans camp. And I said it was not my call on the Diversity Administrators, but rather an issue to be brought before the governing bodies mandated by law. So, if that was not clear to you, it should be now, though I fully expect to still be called pathetic moving forward. I do know that you only proclaim climate change denial here and will not brook further debate. You also refuse to discuss the legalization of marijuana here as if it is not an issue of human freedom that the great unwashed seem to find much current interest in.
