Aecetia; BTW, that was my idea for Kim Jong-il! Buy him a liquor store in Garden Grove and keep him in Jack Daniels, porn and carbohydrates for as long as his little heart would hold out.
gandalf: Thanks. It has been very interesting to hear your points of view on things, and I have to say it has provided some real food for thought and provoked some soul searching. As a former soldier, and one with friends in Iraq and Afghanistan, I worry tremendously about the fate of my country. I worry that we have sold our liberty for security, and Ben Franklin counseled us long ago on the dangers of that path. I realize we have probably all spent more time here than we should, but it has been worthwhile. Yeah, we are a handful of folks and probably unlikely to change anything the in the long run, but the dialogue has to begin somewhere. You get a few folks talking…
surveyor: You are the man! You have done yeoman’s work here and I admire the hell out of your steadfast stance and willingness to carry the fight forward. Conservative or liberal, we all share the same fears and want the same things ultimately. Thanks for participating, and thanks for reminding me what true conservatism looks like and that it is still alive and well, Dubya and his ilk be damned.
