I know why so many people feel an urgent need to discuss politics, especially with the clock running against them and their lives. It's a shame that so many people on this board and in life in general have different political views, or not so much that as that it drives a wedge between us. Many, many years ago my grandmother or maybe my great-grandmother told me to never discuss religion or politics in polite company. I personally think that is not an option, as I am sure you've gathered! Anyway, I know that we all want the same thing here - a CURE - so let's all try to focus on THAT, allow people to speak their political minds whatever their personal beliefs are, and enjoy that person for who they are. We should all try to see where the others are coming from. Tolerance. I believe that tolerance (Ray, who was a history teacher, I believe can correct me here) was one of the founding notions of this republic known as the USA.
