I find enjoyment and value in discussions among the members of this group. I am simply asking a question that troubles me ...and goes unanswered ...are we obligated to "tweak" the thinking of others? Can we offset the tsunami of govspeak that rolls via the MSM hourly? Is it reasonable to expect that our thoughts ...our convictions ...mean anything beyond ourselves and those who have commonality in some way with us? I have seen both the dagger of sharp critical questioning and the hammer of cold hard statements of logic in posts from members of this group. Did either change the direction of our fortunes as citizens? Is our intent to gain agreement as a group, or to affect the conclusions of those beyond our community? If we are content to discuss topics and draw from the inputs of the members, I am OK with that. If we believe, however faint the hope may be, that we can affect the direction of our nation through our words, I am OK with the extension of that whatever the cost.
