The Echo Chronicles...

I'm on this bulleting board called Echo. Once, long, long ago I picked up a book the creator of the bulletin board wrote called Cyberville and I was hooked. The only thing that I still struggle with is the fact that I'm very much alone on the site in my political beliefs. The movie conference, discussing Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 has become much like it usually is, full of vituperative and blustering comments. I try and post when and where I can, always making sure to be polite... but how do you respond to this?

It's become some kind of weird twist of logic but no matter how horrible
Bush may be, he get's a 50% off pass with the argument that we need to be
fair and balanced.

This ends up meaning that half the time we hear the truth about him and half
the time we have to hear his lies.

This is not being fair and balanced. This is being truthful half the time
and spreading lies the other half.




Can there be no ideological differences? Just RIGHT and WRONG? There are things I disagree with Bush about (mostly that he's not as fiscally conservative as I'd like him to be) but to just state that anything that comes out of his mouth is a lie? I don't get it. Can someone help me?
