I&#x27;m sure I was deeply unclear, since I was just venting my annoyance through sarcasm.<p>You raise a good point, though. I would ask, <i>where</i> do you have reasonable public discussions? I want to see reasonable discussions here, but it&#x27;s purely selfish, and I don&#x27;t think it matters much in the bigger picture. Popular media is full of idiots, because they&#x27;re pandering to the loudest idiots in the population. What alternative venues could there be?
