Don't go away. I would just suggest yet again that we confine political talk to political threads and GITS talk to the GITS thread.

You can be our token liberal. <VBG>

That means very big grin by the way if you don't know. In other words I'm joshing you:)

I think you'd find a rather wide variety of views. The funny thing is views tend to get less "tolerant" the more you push

I hope you do not go away. This is not intended to be a political thread, but many of us are conservative. You'll have to forgive impolite remarks, but personally, I would love to have you participate with us.

Quotation for the day: The most important of my discoveries have been suggested to me by my failures. Humphry, Sir Davy (1778–1829), British chemist, physicist. ManyMoose's grandfather (a total jerk for leaving my Grandmother when she was pregnant with Mom), Russell Davy, was the great great great grandson of Sir Humphry. I have 15 other Great Great Great Great grandfathers who were neither jerks nor knighted by King George.

I will happily go away from this site that tolerates only one political point of view.

No need to go. We're actually a pretty good bunch of folks, albeit conservative for the most part.

Today is a politically charged day. That has seeped into the posting. In general, however, the posts here are not political. If you like talking about the weather, food, health issues, or a whole variety of things, this is a good place to be.
