Is there some good reason that this site has to engage in political discussion not DIRECTLY related to our industry?


We've all heard the talking points on both sides.


It just leads to comments such as Robert NorVelle's which disintegrate into name calling and ugliness.


Would we all like to be assured of adequate health care?  yep.  Do we all agree on the best way to do it?  nope.


Lets try to keep this forum a bit more free of the venom and hatefult diatribes.


Thanks

Obamacare (or don't care) will be just another nail in the coffin of the U.S. economy.  Boat dealers will be among the very first to go.
