You know the sad thing is, I think Greg is a pretty reasonable guy. I think if Greg and I met we could sit down and have a beer and debate this thing all night without ever seeing what I see going on here. He says something we disagree with as Bush people and he is confronted on all sides. And many of those confronts are not nice. We have a battle of words going on here that doesn't solve anything IMO. I came to debate what is going on and try to analyze how these ruling's etc. will effect me. I didn't come here to see people called any of the names I see both sides throwing. I dislike Gore intensely, I dislike many of the people who are talking for him at this point equally as much. I don't dislike his voters. And much more then that I don't hate any of the people involved with this. I don't think it serves any purpose to call names or put the attack mode on by either side. I can now see why politics and religion should never be discussed. I know it took me awhile to get this, call me thick, but I get it now. I can also see why it is I have not run for elected office even though I had an offer of an appointment. I am done with this and am going to concentrate my energy on keeping my family warm, it's very cold here, on keeping my family happy, and on trying to ensure my family's future by investing wisely. I will continue to talk politics on a local level and whenever I have the opportunity to talk without hate with the people that I have met on the internet. But the attitude here is a little to caustic for my tastes. If this board met and talked about nothing but stocks I think the result would surprise you. Let the flames begin but I only throw this out as food for thought. I think the time has come for everyone to step back and think unemotionally. Look at it as a trade setup. Jeff
