I have to admit I am surprised. I agree with a lot that you say, but I guess I figured with your experience and writing skills you would be pounding your elected officials.

Like I told raggie, I respect you, but I don't respect the fact that you would take the time to write such a long post discouraging someone from standing up for what they believe. Please don't take this as offensive or disresepctful, as you know or should know that you are one of my favorite posters, and still are. I am just stating my opinion to your post. Take care, and I hope things are well.

Good luck to you, me, us, and all longs.
