Matters of opinion water boarding

[CAKochenash]

Travis, first and foremost, I like you and I respect you, but why are you always on the fence on controversial matters? The title of your show is matters of opinion. I tune in to in in anticipation of hearing your opinion. whether its the RDA, waterboarding, or TSA body scanners. Take a stand for your opinions.

Sorry for the delay in response, I don't check this very often. I take a stand for many an opinion, but I also recognize when certain issues are not so cut and dry for me to take any sort of knee jerk reaction to them. The RDA I preferred to stay mute on the issue until afterwords, and then proclaimed that I was not for the RDA, because I didn't feel that my knowledge was enough on the matter itself to put out what may be an influential opinion. On that interview, I was actually

trying to find anybody who would refute the "for" RDA stance, but the couple of people I had canceled at the last minute before the vote, so that didn't pan out. On this water boarding issue, if you look through about a week after this was done, I wrote out my final thoughts on that matter, and decided that while it may be considered torture, depending on how one thinks about torture, I find it to be an acceptable form and have no problems with the water boardings, personally.

As for the body scanners, that is, I admit, still something I'm on the fence about. There are issues like the TSA scanners and procedures that I find myself having an intellectual and personal ping pong match, and I won't just make up an opinion on the matter just to have one. I'm just being honest.
