Well, Mr. Mossy, we agree on Robert Heinlein and his point about learning from debate. I didn't agree with Heinlein on some of his politics, but liked his science fiction.
I suggest you read up on the differences between liberal and socialist—they are profound.
I love your Forum name. It's clever and much better than the lame one I came up with. And congratulations on becoming a rivet master.

I'm with you on Heinlein and debate. I'm also all for you being able to express your point of view even if it is at odds with mine at times. Makes things interesting. However almost every time I have expressed my opinion without any personal attacks, meaness or vindictiveness it has been deleted. Just saying.
We will however have to disagree on what liberal means today vs socialism. Liberalism should be very different from socialism but it unfortunately no longer is. Having been a history teacher, a sociology teacher and a social studies teacher I am pretty well aware of what socialism is. I'm even aware that it isn't in it's intent a bad thing, however it's intentions have, so far as I am aware, never carried over into the practice of it. Heck Marx wasn't even a bad guy, had good intentions, he just didn't know much about human nature.
Also thanks for the compliment and I'm sure I could learn things from you. Have a good one. Hey I just realized I'm now a rivet master, thanks for pointing it out.
