Well said. Exactly what I have been preaching in my few posting here! They sometimes bring up controversial subjects but we can't avoid that. We all can learn more when we sit back and listen with open respectful minds. What you may learn may help you even if it comes from someone of divergent political opinions. Discussion should not be confused with attacking, nor should it be a platform for an attack of any kind... Politics, while having a dirty name by default, is they way most civilized societies resolve differences and achieve greatness... Respecting those differences allows the political process to take place in the most expeditious manner... Frank cg. Teri 52/47/40 15024 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Susan B.
