Bluesman, I can understand your frustrations, being sick of politics, and I know you may laugh a little bit because that's all I seem to post here lately. Let's take a couple of your subjects, gambling, religion, and church. Whether you know it or not, those three subjects deal with politics. Church is not just about religion anymore. It's loaded with politics. Take a high school football game, it's sad to say but it's loaded with politics. Your everyday life deals with religion and politics in some way, fashion, or form. You have to think about who runs the show, whether it be your employer, church, gambling joint, or just a football game. I'm not trying to be ugly, but if more people would get involved, you can change things. And the way you change things is you educate people. For an example, you would like to see gambling legalized in Alabama. Then you need to educate people why we need it and bring it up for a vote again. So it all boils down to educating people. That's why, even though you may not believe the way I do or I may not believe the way you do, we should listen to each others views and respect each others views and discuss in a civil manner as to why we disagree. We need to look at things with both eyes instead of one eye. Pretend that if you were on a jury, to be fair, you would have to look and listen to both views. I think you get my point. Anyway, think about it at least.
