"Why is it that we can go on and on in off-topic threads (such as those on politics, bonds, etc) while actual on-topic threads get two or three responses and then die a slow death? That is really kind of pathetic." |

right, but last time I checked, this was a vintage bb card board. Im sure there are other more appropriate places to vent. Im not, by the way, saying that Im immune to occassional off-topic posts. |

I am going to lock this thread around 8pm CST this evening. My motto of "moderation" is coming to an end for it. Please post what you want to on this subject until around then. I don't want anyone to implode from not getting to say what they want to. I have no issue with these threads every once in a while. It does get folks to know each other a little better (or worse ) .... It does distract from the board focus though and that is the only reason it will be locked later this evening. We can play again soon. We do have some very intelligent folks on the board. best regards |

You are correct Ted - we have had a few meaninful on topic posts. Those with any significant discussion, however, come about almost as frequently as the off topic posts that reach into the 100s. |

I think the most interesting aspect of this thread is how passionate people are in their beliefs and more important how divisive America is. That in itself is sad. And there are too many people who feel if you share my ideas you are wise, but if you criticize them you are just an idiot. I think America has a very long way to go. |

It will certainly be a fun journey, though, won't it Barry? |

Jeff, I fully understand that oil is not the only issue, but it is THE driving issue. Terrorism, WMDs and other things are just a good cover to hide the fact that want to keep the cheap oil flowing. Do you think we would have ignored Afghanastan if they had the oil reserves that Iraq does? |

I don't think this thread should be locked until Zell officially challenges Jay to a duel. |

Ted, the only show I watch on CNN is Lou Dobbs. I am about as far from a dupe of the liberal media as you can get. I don't rely on one single source for my information, unlike the dim bulbs that live and die for Rush Limbaugh and his ilk. The best line I ever heard from Rush was, Turn off you mind. I'll tell you what to think. I also had him as a passanger in a limo I drove. Very interesting to hear how little he actually thought of his listeners. |

I could not agree more Jay. That is the part about Rush. What is it they call themselve's ? Ditto heads or some nonsense like that. |

Fox provides balanced reporting? They are about as far right in their reporting as CNN is claimed to be left leaning. The running joke I've heard about the 2 is Reps watch Fox and Dems watch CNN. About the only news show that I've seen with balanced reporting is the Lou Dobbs show. |

Scott: for my money, you and Ted are not too far afield. But the guy who seems to really have it figured here (other than drc1) is Bryan Long. |

There was a recent study done that showed that over 90% of the mainstream media were democrats. It influences how they all present the story. CBS, NBC, ABC,NY Times,Boston Globe, Washington Post, LA Times--they all are biased against Bush and the republicans |

I debated to myself, the locking of this thread or not. On one hand it's not that big of a deal. On the other hand folks start talking politics . This isn't really a politics board but we do have opinions on the subject and it's nice to discuss them every once in a while. I always defer to core elemental aspects of collecting. Jefferson Burdick eloquently stated in the opening paragraph of the American Card Catalogue (ACC): |
