And how exactly the f@%k do you know what people are doing in Real Life? Seems to me you spend an awful lot of time and energy behind a faux cyber ID.
I know what at least two members of our forum are doing in real life because we've communicated outside this PoliticoPub and they are real people doing real community activism in line with the political points of view which they share here at the Rx Politco Pub.
I myself, though I haven't done it much lately, am likely the member of our friendly fraternity who is most visible in Real Life with regard to political and social activism

I work about 1500+ hours a year in the political fields of civil liberties and public drug policies.
I'm no better or less better than any other member of our cyber fraternity, but it's clear that I, along with TIZNOW and 3PEET are the only ones who put Real Life time into the Political and social causes which we espouse here at the Rx.
This line of discussion began with my review of LIONS FOR LAMBS, in which a leading theme of the movie is a message to all that Talking Talk is a nice start to affecting change. But until someone actually DOES something more than talk (as did the two men in the movie who enlisted in the military because they believed it would make a difference in the world), then their Talk must be taken with a grain of salt.
I remain interested to learn of other members in our PoliticoPub who do Real Life work in the fields which they wag their Opinions here, but for the most part, our friendly group is pretty much just chit chatters.
I encourage every member here to take a step away from the cyber pontificating - whether "right wing" or "left wing" or any POV in between - and do something REAL.
And further, when you get doing something REAL, tell us about it because you might find some more common ground with other members and perhaps inspire them to get off their duffs and also do something Real.
