   I miss that too, jumpybird, but... people could talk more freely (then).   
   Nobody's thinking ever gets challenged if the only ones who are allowed to   
   talk are the ones who agree on everything. People say we need open 'dialogues'   
   but i always thought that    
   meant debate and discussion, back and forth, free to express one's views   
   without fear and intimidation, etc.    
      
   A little respect goes a long way too, i think.    
      
   My thoughts. :)    
      
   Hope all is well with you and yours.
