one. this board is of certain age. this age means that many people have passed in and out of the numbers. so. you have to continuously train new people.
something i have noticed is that younger people (by even a year or so under my generation), those who don't remember the 80's it seems, have respect only for how they
feel about things. they don't care for evidence or even truth, only for their imagined world of pink bubbles.
this is a recent backlash against the establishment as perpetrated by aging hippies and the crack-fed children of hippies. (i like hippies, but when they get old they forget their meaningful ideals and know only their feelings.) it is something that is new andgrowing in our society and fed by the fire of the neocon revolution started in the late 80's by the televangelists. (omg tarantula eyes...)
when i was in a high school chemistry class discussing abortion with these godawful freshmen and dared to suggest that the churches had been in support of legalizng abortion in order to regulate the methods and cleanliness to prevent the murder of women who trusted unethical 'physicians' their only response was "not
my church!" when they didn't even bother to stop to think maybe that's a decent question worth looking up.
they view everything as a personal attack and don't even stop to think if it might be true or not. you are calling them liars and they don't like it.

And why you think you take a Ho to a Ho-tel
Ho-tell everybody, even the mayor
Reach up in the sky for the Ho-zone layer
Now C'mon playa wants a Ho always
And Ho's neva close, they open like hallways
