Hey Keith M.,
 You are correct in that I am well educated, and that was my decision. I have always considered the time to become educated was one of the best investments a person can make, paying great dividends. An education is the one thing that can't be taken away. A person can sue in a court of law, and take all of anothers personal possessions, but they can't take their education. A Doctor explained this to me as a young child, and it left a lasting impression. What you probably don't understand is that I support and encourage all persons to become educated, it is the most important thing you can do for yourself. I regularly encourage young people to go to college, to get a higher education, do it for themself. It is of great benefit to community, state, nation, and the world. On an international basis, did you know that in the Russian Republic, the former USSR, higher education is considered so valuable that for those who meet entry requirements it is free, and if a specific performance standard is met, the student is paid to further their education? Why can't we do that here? We can spend our tax dollars of far less fruitful, and far more costly endeavors! I had to get my education on the GI Bill!
You are incorrect as the my regard for hate, which is an emotion which I consider to be counterproductive.
As far as 'Renegades' go, I don't use that term, I didn't coin the term, and see no benefit in considering it. For me it is not an issue.
Actually, the majority of the facts and figures I quote, I have committed to memory, and those which are not, can be easily located. It has to do with managing thought processes, once understood, it becomes a simple matter. Anyone can do that, just a matter of priorities.
Actually, participating in this forum is a sacrifice, it consumes time. I am what is known as a 'descriptive writer' I go into detail, so, there can be no doubt as to the meaning. Most times a short message will not accomplish this.
As far as impressing, to what end? Perhaps you do not understand that I would consider this to be counterproductive. It would not achieve any goal that would interest me.
You state that I have almost 11% of the posts, it is interesting that you would have such concern over stats. I do not share this interest. Since I was among the first who used this website, and did have an intensive debate going during the election 2 years ago, that is understandable.
 This tread has gotten far off subject beginning at the 6th post, and has continued getting farther and farther off subject. If you wish to continue with the posted subject matter, I may respond. If not I will cease to post on other issues.
Have a good day!!!
Andy
