I agree with Charlotte absolutely. We have both the right and the responsibility to involve ourselves in politics. While I respect the right of others on this list to support George Bush, I am personally opposed to virtually everything he stands for, most particularly his opposition to stem cell research. I for one am not willing to bury my head in the sand and pretend all is well. It isn't and won't be until the incumbent is removed from the White House. George L.
