First of all, welcome form this ol' hillbilly...

Second, yeah.... I do read every post in a thread before jumping in, ahhhh, with the exception of the "Mother of all, BS" thread which is 180 degrees from the "Poverty" thread...

My suggestion to you is if you are going to participate in any political threads here that you don't come to class without having done your homework, i.e., having a working knowledge of the disussion, the territory that has been covered and the arguments that have been made... If for no other reason it can make you look ignorant and trollish...

But welcome, non the less...
