(...) It's not that I am doing nothing. I think Bush is going to lose(1), when all is said and done.

(...) Anyone who has read my LUGNET posts has seen countless occasions where I have retracted my own statements and/or evolved my opinion about one topic or another.

(...) I agree completely, and have been taking a similar course, for similar reasons. There's a parable isn't there, about scattering seeds all over, and the seeds sprouting and giving forth a harvest whose size depended on the kind of ground onto (...)

Well, I doubt I'm in the choir to which you are referring in your subject line; you probably have me in mind when speaking about the "small conservative fringe on the right" (BTW, what does that mean, exactly?).

I've noticed that o-t.d seems to be populated largely by people who will never change their minds about the issues being discussed. There are a lot of us on the left who seem to be pounding the same arguments into the ground against a small (...) (20 years ago, 8-Aug-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

The record and movies industries are pressuring Congress to pass a bill this week that will threaten the iPod and peer-to-peer networks. I just sent free faxes urging my reps in Congress to stop the INDUCE Act. Convincing even a single Senator will (...) (20 years ago, 7-Aug-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
