"because you don't respect the values of others." That's about the FUNNIEST thing you've ever said. I'm the very soul of toleration... but most especially compared to you! "You simply try to force your own view," If by 'force' you mean 'persuade with facts and logic' then, yes, I plead GUILTY! "ridiculing your opponents." LOL!!!! (Usually only when well deserved, and the 'opponent' has struck FIRST... but, I'll admit: I enjoy a good farce and black commedy. The next few years will be prime commedic territory --- if one can only put out of the mind for a while the long-term fiscal damage that will be done to the American people... that, too will eventually correct. The immutable laws of finance and the markets will assert, as they always do, in the long-run.) "In this election, we decided to fight back. And you lost." Oh, not me personally dear Pilch! Smite the heathens:Message 20727982 No more excuses:Message 20727878 "I think this will probably be the last cycle I will vote." Yes, I've noticed your remarks about this previously. In my very early years I made a bit of a study of the early American utopian movements (which all failed). More power to you if you can find an agreeable place, and a philosophy that works for you and yours! "I suspect this will be the last time in my lifetime that social conservatives will put their foot down across your neck as they just did." HaHa!!!!!!!!!!!! (My neck is stainless steel... not to worry!) "Your time of darkness is near." Since this is something that YOU CAN'T PROVE, (& I --- with what I believe to be EQUALLY JUSTIFIABLE if not better REASONS could believe that it is YOUR poor bedraggled soul that's going to sizzle, not mine)... I'll content myself by mentioning to you that I have been prepared all my life for whatever possibilities may unfold. Not to worry... I'm a human, and proud of it, with all the capacity for good and bad that entails.
