Open Chat... All Day, Every Day! Express Your Views, Debate, and Challenge the Views of Others!

In order to keep up with the nature of free, spirited debate, I wanted to place the chat feature at the top of the homepage. This ensures people can come here and share their views on anything they wish and not have it be related to any specific discussion. Here, people can share ideas, links, and views "unmoderated" and an their own pace. To me, this makes The Elephant in the Room blog truly a place for debate.

Open Forum: "Why Should" Questions...

With so much going on (high unemployment, OWS, an upcoming election, drones in Iran, GOP debates, and on and on and on) we are creating an open forum that we feel would help people express an important type of question: "why should?..."

What is this? Simply put, it's an open dialogue. This blog is about expression. LME has viewpoints, OWS has viewpoints, liberals and conservatives all have viewpoints, we ALL have viewpoints. With the constant flow and bombardment of information, sometimes it feels that specific "why should" questions not only go unanswered, but unasked.

We are establishing two simple ground rules here:

1. Either post a "why should" question, or post an answer to someone's question. Your post should start with "Why should........." or your post should start with "Answer to XXXXX:" and then your answer. There are no right or wrong answers. These are just opinions. We prefer if you leave a username/handle so that questions are appropriately addressed, but that's up to you.

2. Please don't use this as a rant forum to go on about problems you see in the world. We have other topics and forums for that :-)

Please, as always, keep it civil. Encourage all to join in. With this being our first one, we would like to see how this goes. Thank you.

    To M Howe: Because he is your king! He is giving you healthcare and money. Why not?

    Why should OWS stop toys from getting to our ports (and then to our children) around christmas time.

    To "Snake" - Um, thank you for stopping by? I'm not sure what you meant by "didn't seem to work out so well... We received some feedback on here. One comment makes it all worth it. Also, what mandates are you referring to?

    Anyway, we hope you can come back and contribute in other sections of the blog. Thanks!
