Sorry Ed, I usually don't listen to sarcasm, which is what you usually give. Silly me. Don't believe anything you hear and you will live longer!
You know what? You're right. And that, ironically enough, is said without the slightest trace of sarcasm.
Sarcasm is probably what I most frequently utilize in the politics forum. As a gun-owning Christian who is constantly harped on by the leftist hard-liners, and as a socially-liberal semi-intellectual who is constantly ranted at by the rabid righties, sarcasm is my stock in trade.
I would apologize, but it wouldn't be heartfelt. I am equally disdainful of those who march in lockstep with their leaders, regardless of who those leaders are. I am compelled by my sense of what's decent and fair to poke fun at people whenever I think they're being unreasonable. And sarcasm is the handiest and most comfortable tool in my bag of tricks.
