What? Republicans don't play chess? I don't think so! As to you being forced to read about our problems daily -- I don't think so either. Your paper may publish those stories, but you are not obligated to read them. Nor were you obligated to read a post on CCC who's title clearly indicated it would probably offend you. One of the STRENGTHS of American democracy is that we are willing to air our dirty laundry, the better to encourage our leaders to keep clean. Sometimes, it is rather more dirty than we'd like, but then it's all the more important to get it clean, rather than let the smell build in the dark dank hamper. You don't like American politics? Fine! You've a mouse, you've a remote control, you can turn the page of your paper. Nobody can make you listen or watch. Nor should you attempt to inhibit free speech based on your parochial ideas of taste. Pat King
