Wasted thread? Don't care? Do you care about the future of America?

It almost seems similar to a man saying he wants to reduce testing for the Corona virus because it will hurt his chances for personal gain.

But, all things considered, we sure are lucky to be able to experience the beauty that is Lake Winnipesaukee! I believe it's worth having difficult conversations to ensure we can continue to enjoy it.
I agree with what you said. I interpreted the “wasted” comments to mean we’re beating a dead horse.

The national tragedy to me is that the necessary conversations aren’t happening. Difficult conversations require people who are willing to listen to others. We seem to have lost that ability.

And that is the waste. This is the internet which requires ( for clarity) that I state I am not pointing this at particular people or views.
