Sounds kinda like Firing Line with William F. Buckley, who was one of those old-school libertarian conservatives who I never thought I would miss, but I do. He at least was willing to have civil discourse about real issues.

Can we bring that back, please! I don’t like yelling! I’m a shy girl (albeit opinionated), and easily intimidated. Can we create an online platform that will be conducive to civil discourse?

Do you remember when you were a kid and Point/Counterpoint arguments were held on the T.V.? It was amazing! See…
One guy said his piece, then he would cease speaking.
THEN, you’ll love this, THEN the other gal would say her piece, and would stop talking. No interruptions. No interjections. They made their points, with decorum.

Perhaps there is no point to this national health care ‘debate’. The point/counterpoint niceties are a thing of the past. If you don’t shout about it, then missy, I guess you don’t care as much as the louder fella’.

To productive discourse!!!
