Amen. Might I suggest a truce? I will not respond, after today, for one week. After that if our president is attacked or the board returns once again to campaign 2004 and others on the board don not respond in a way to ask those posting to refrain from those posts I will feel that the people on this board do want to have open political discussions and I will respond to every attack on our President and the good he is trying to achieve for all in the world. Rayilyn, Susan, Nina, Maryse etal... Do we have a truce? Can we get back to the main function of this board? I have posted no more than you have. I will take a "no response" as a rejection of this sincere offer to return to the main function of this board.
