I am not sure why the opinion column of the Jackson News and Guide is not good enough for Foster. Seems a little one sided. Doesn't Foster help to make the point that we need change in the way our democracy debates issues - the way we elect our politicians, etc. Jerry Jim:

I've got a couple of questions for you guys: Does civil discourse and debate, as FF is advocating he wants to be an honest broker of, include respecting and agreeing on reality-based, empirical facts? Or, is the goal for you two and others who are engaging in Foster's forum really a sort of high-brow pissing match over warring ideologies that's more about each side rallying their supporters, and seeing who can draw greater applause for their respective debating points, than a genuine dialectic where each side tries to prove their arguments are best, because they're demonstrating their greater command of the incontrovertible, factual truth? Just wondering, keep up the battle cry, --The Cowboy Times Hey Jim,

See that you and Foster have got a little friendly dust-up going on.

Which tribe has done the most damage to the world? Why is organized religion so highly regarded by some and hated by others? Could it be that religion is really only someone's opinion? Whatever, I'm drunk. Christians, Muslims, skiers, beer drinkers, which tribe are you a part of? Which tribe has done the most damage to the world?
