Discussion groups

I just watched a very interesting TV discussion of the Palistinian situation.

Conservatives and Liberals were represented. The Jews were criticized and the Arabs were criticized, The discussion was lively and sometimes heated. Black and white mentality, moral relativism and historical perspective pervaded the exchange. It easily could have been a live version of a discussion on this board and I was again reminded of our good fortune to have assembled here a really excellent group.

The only thing that was missing from the TV group was a cynical pedant whose primary contribution would be to remind everyone else of his own elevation to a higher plane of existence and their pitiful lack of sufficient understanding to discuss the matter at hand.

I wonder if they left him out on purpose?
