Greetings As you noted you survived an attack on presenting a different viewpoint on the Obama thread. I am pleased to read that the moderator rightfully reversed a ban on your writing on the board. As you wrote------------- "there should be only one test, is a post on topic or not? When someone introduces a challenge, and then gets replies that dont comport..with the desired response..credibility is lost. This establishes the politics of central control, as in bought and paid for, as a threads primary objective. There for, the thread is reduced to useless propaganda whose CF is defined by its methods of operation." I noticed in your intro to this board you have several references to President Thomas Jefferson a great Statesman, writer and man of letters. Please see a second message with my favorite quote by Jefferson. mj

MJ's favorite quote written by President Thomas Jefferson "He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me. That ideas should freely spread from one to another over the globe, for the moral and mutual instruction of man,and improvement of his condition, seems to have been peculiarly and benevolently designed by nature, when she made them, like fire, expansible over all space, without lessening their density in any point, and like the air in which we breathe, move, and have our physical being, incapable of confinement or exclusive appropriation."
