<P>I am thinking of signing off the Vision 2020 list but wanted to share some final thoughts.</P>
<P>First of all, and I am only speaking for myself, but I did not join this site merely to spend 24-7 talking about religon. I thought this site was about the growth of Moscow. I do not care who's a christian, a jew, a lesbian or a one-eyed, one-horned, flying purple people eater. That makes no difference to me. I would rather discuss ideas, not other people. </P>
<P>Secondly, why must there be so many derogutory comments? Let your steam blow off before you type. Never miss a good chance to shut up. Also, sometimes less words have more meaning. I do not want to read a 3 page essay or personal commentary. Start a personal blog if you want to go that route. If you are debating with one person only, perhaps it's better to post to them directly. </P>
<P>Thirdly, ethics. How do you expect someone to post their name when there are people who will take that information and send it somewhere else? I understand that this is a public site but that doesn't mean we have to use other people's words to retaliate. Does that encourage open and honest dialogue? Why do you think there are only a handful of people who write on this site each day? Nobody else wants to get hacked and axed for having an opinion.</P>
<P>Overall I think there is an intelligent group of people here and I enjoy reading many of the posts. Hopefully the ideas brought forth may actually go somewhere rather than just being posted for one's own comical and/or argumentive entertainment. </P>
<P>Either way, atleast you all have passion about your beliefs. You should respect yourselves and <EM>Others</EM> for that. </P>

<P>In comes cheesy background music of "We are the World" followed by hand holding and loving acceptance.</P>
<P>Can't we all just get along!<IMG height=19 src="http://graphics.hotmail.com/i.p.emsmile.gif" width=19> </P>
