When I was in HS I did the Debate Club...was a member of the Model United Nations Club where we went to UC Berkeley and UCLA and recreated a UN session....and I learned to research my position and actually debate.....
So when the Internet exploded I found "Debate Boards" and Political Boards and was thrilled...initially....
I had to stop eventually because I had lost all ability to debate or think rationally amidst people like Santorum and his followers who just repeat crap over and over and completely ignore facts.
When I "left the building"...I had one final thought...
Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time...and it will annoy the pig.
