You may live in the USA with the right to free speech, however this is a web forum with rules. There are probably places on the web that cater to social and political discussion. I believe the focus of this site is mainly hunting and shooting and those things related to such. I have come to really enjoy this place and it concerns me when folks want to drag the worlds non hunting related problems into it. That's all I have to say about that.Yes, this site has rules against hijacking thread, which I will follow. But now we can't exercise our basic rights allowed by our constitution of free speech? We cannot speak our displeasure of the housing market and economy going to crap and just need to chalk it up to capitalism?
