Well it is no secret that I am pretty liberal and vocal about it, but I think I've learned a lot, since coming to the Mudcat, about the gray areas Spaw mentions and I agree with him. I don't always wear my heart on my sleeve, anymore, and I try to be careful what I say around certain folks in the 3D world. I choose my *battles* more carefully as it just doesn't seem worth expending a lot of energy unless there is hope of meeting halfway on divisive issues.

One thing I've always believed in and strive to do is work within groups to further those things I do believe in, such as woman's right to choose, human rights, animal rights, etc.

Great thread, Rick!
