If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the results of a hundred battles.

I trust I am doing this right....
Have been on the boards about a decade, a retired political journalist in Canada, I just can't seem to get it out of my system. My political leanings are to the left, I am a Canadian Liberal which is not to say I have a whole lot in common with my American counterparts.
For the record I am a dual citizen, born in Canada of American parents and was raised and educated south of that arbitrary line in the sand called the 49th parallel.
I am surprised, at first rush, that I know no one here, which is kind of refreshing since I am bored with the same old arguments. I love a good expanding debate, free of personal insults and attacks and especially enjoy those moments when a fellow poster irritates me enough that I finally realize he is right and I am wrong.
In other forums I have made good friends on both sides of the aisle, and I hope that might be possible here.

Welcome to DP!
I hope you've been around long enough to know the MO of boards. Please give it a tad of time until you know the layout and folks. Don't think we're all bad folks if you have a bad outing on your first debate. We have insults of course from time to time, but then things lighten up. We have great debates, and then some suck. But all good folks in here.
“You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colin." Need I say more?” - Chris Rock

Kinda like little chicken nuggets if you ask me. Fatty and really no substance in there.
I kid, I kid, this is the intro thread! We really won't eat babies. That would be totally wrong. Jeez. But we may just kill you, or feed you to a middle eastern neighborhood under ISIS control.
