Sigh, I used to think horse folk were mostly libertarian/conservative

I suppose plenty are, but there sure are a lot of liberals and pot-stirrers on the internet horse boards.   I suppose I should expect chat boards to attract those folks.   Self reliant folks probably are less inclined to haunt chat boards of any kind.  In a perfect world there would be an active board to share horse tales on w/o having to hold one's nose at the headers for the drama llama stuff and having to practice self discipline not to go gawk at the virtual car wrecks.
