If I'm going to watch two people debate something, I want to know what their background is in that particular field, it's an innocent enough question.

You wouldn't tune in to watch Larry Bird debate Michael Jordan over the impacts of global warming, you would want respected researchers in that field. If it's just two partisan pundits going at it with talking points and little to no understanding of the terminology, ramifications and numbers, it's not going to really solve anything.

5. Right. I was born in the morning, but not yesterday morning. That was not an innocent question.

If you want my qualifications about anything, I have tons of material on the web. I'm google-able.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
