"A closed mind gathers no intelligence"

I think debate is healthy. A forum is just a convenient place to do it. However, still trying to figure out what taxes, health care, and religion have to do with submarines......
I've read these forums for nine years and have never seen anyone have his mind changed because of discourse. As I have said repeatedly, political discourse on the internet is as toxic as it is futile. Some have greater resistance than others, but it will eventually get to you.
