Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

I haven't been in Illinois for a hatching since I was a kid.

I remember it being deafeningly loud, damn bugs everywhere with them flying around while mating and a general pain in thecass.
