I miss Mags too.
Some of his stuff was "out there" but he brought a lot of sound content to the poly forum. It takes a level of world sophistication to distinguish truthful content from speculative content. But he stimulated thought. Unlike a few others here who only stimulate like minded lowlifes with their trivial, untruthful, personal attack bullshit.
And to those who only think that this is a gambling forum, you are wrong. Go to the track sometime and see what people talk about. Horses? Yes. And a ton of other stuff too. Anywhere people gather they talk about world issues and issues that affect their lives or their family's lives, or their friend's lives. Finance? check Politics? check Religion? check Sexuality? check Race? a whole lot less than liberals on this board would have you believe. One of the most quoted guys in conservative circles is Martin Luther King. "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." That's one of several I could post here.
Those who say we hate blacks or Spanish or Muslims or immigrants are just liberal rabble rousers. They can't let racism go. It serves them well when they buffalo their limited thinking base.
The quote that I love the most about this country is attributed to a Democrat, John F Kennedy - "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country."
We need diversity. But not diversity as Democrats define it. We need diversity of intelligent thought. I don't care about your political leanings or skin color or gender (as long as it's biological) or religious background . I care about your thoughts.
The stuff Mags brought here stimulated thought. I wish we had a liberal here who did the same. We might even find that we agree on some things.
Bring Mags back.
