Hey Dave, that's certainly a provocative post! I am happy to have you in the club, but left wondering why you joined in the first place? Like, what was it you expected, a group this large to all be individuals or all alike?
I'll go on record(as have others in different choice of words) as not liking to be stereotyped , and that is just what you did to me. It is not appreciated, as I like most humans place a value on my individuality, especially in this mostly free society that I/we live in, including those that happen to join a club-evn the non-joiners like myself! In my previous working life I did people for a living(counselor,etc.) and placed a high value on the fact that everyone has a right to be ones self, thus always striving to not force my value system(some of them had a serious need for my value system) upon the other person. I fail to see what you are really after,but perhaps you got it out of your system, as it was in fact aptly called a "rant", after all. If your ever down Kentucky way, stop by my place for a cold one and we can talk about all the failings of the MOA and the rest of the world too.Seriously!
