YES!!!

I think you are on exactly the right track, Jeri. ;-) Well said.

There IS a real 3-D life out there for compulsive internet addicts, just waiting to be discovered, and, yes, personal change IS still possible. Think of the time and energy many of us could save if we just appointed the two most opinionated, hostile, combative people on this entire forum to do all our arguing here for us...and we did something more useful and enjoyable instead.

I like it. Great idea.

If there were a bus going there from here, I'd be sorely tempted.

I'd like to have a rally against doing the same shit over and over, whether it's a Mudcat argument or troll-feeding, political whinging, mudslinging and baiting, OR people complaining about other people who do the above stuff. I've had it up to here, no, to HERE, with people helplessly playing the same roles and regurgitating the same lines ("I did not ask for the anal probe...") in slightly varying ways. For Pete's sake, TRY SOMETHING NEW!

Just for laughs, the next time you want to reply to somebody else's "same shit, different day", ask somebody else usually involved in that stuff to just reply FOR you. Maybe we should do a separate thread and pick our proxies, although I'm sure there will be volunteers. Does this sound interesting to anyone?

Sounds great, but I find it hard to believe a large number of people will travel across the country just to laugh at themselves and others.

If it's televised, I'll watch it though.

Good for them. I hope tons of people attend and that the tone is reasonable, even light-hearted, in strong contrast to the yelpers.

So, then, you'll BOTH be going to the Colbert rally?

"...start by booting out Reid and Pelosi in November!"

*sigh*.... that's a current Conservative slogan, not a reasoned plan.

Any idea that even contemlates putting Sharron Angle in the US Senate is flawed from the start. If you wish to replace Harry Reid, find someone who 'thinks', not a fruitcake who refuses to even talk to the mainstream media because she can't cope with questions about her idiotic remarks!

Take it down a notch for America!

Dueling rallies: Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert.

John on the SC, there's something for everyone. People can go to Jon Stewarts "Rally to Restore Sanity" or Stephen Colbert's "Keep Fear Alive" rally. Maybe there will be a barbecue culminating in a huge food fight.

The Daily Show's" Jon Stewart announced on his show Thursday his Rally to Restore Sanity -- "a rally for the people who've been too busy to go to rallies, who actually have lives and families and jobs (or are looking for jobs) -- not so much the Silent Majority as the Busy Majority." The rally will be held "to beg America to stop shouting, throwing and drawing Hitler mustaches on people other than Hitler (or Charlie Chaplin)."

Immediately thereafter, "The Colbert Report's," um, Colbert, announced his Keep Fear Alive rally, with instructions to "pack an overnight bag with five extra sets of underwear -- you're going to need them. Because, to Restore Truthiness we must always... Shh!!! What's that sound?! I think there's someone behind you! Run!"

John - I don't know if you had a chance to watch the video or not. If you did - my two favorite signs that Jon Stewart held up were -

"Bring it down a notch for America" and

"I disagree with you but I'm pretty sure you're not Hitler".
