Thought for the day ...

"When people join my campaign, they are supporting me; I am not necessarily supporting them."
-- said by Ronald Reagan in rejecting the implied collectivism of critics lumping all the supporters of his first Presidential campaign together as ideologically identical. Can anyone see any relevance to current events?

    Good observation, PC. I am constantly referred to as a "right-winger", a "Republican", and worse (shocking, I know!) because I support the War On Terror. I am none of the above, and can't get behind most of the rest of Bush's policies. But tiny minds can't seem to distinguish the nuances of a political platform or ideology, or deduce tyhat we don't all have to agree with everything that one candidate espouses.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
