Beiruty,

You always have a nice clear way of expressing yourself. We may differ slightly in our beliefs, but I do always respect and consider your thoughts.

Thank you.

V-T,

Well-spoke. You are obviously an educated man which pleases me no end. The IQ on this board is usually a nice thing to behold. I am sorry that your faith in our government is less than high. Because of what I do in life, I cannot go there except to say that I still believe that Republican, Democrat, or Independent, we are still better in our day-to-day operations than the vast majority of governments on the planet.

Speaking of the political divisions, you will find quite an assortment here on this board as well as many religions. We bicker like family, but at the end of the day we still break bread together.

You do not know me, but if I wish you well, I do mean it. If I am confused by something you post, I will say so. A turn of phrase may throw me, but it will not be because I am disinterested or disingenuous.

I will readily admit that I am different than anyone likely to be met on this forum or most. I think differently, and sometimes I will be misunderstood. It happens.

Welcome to the forum and best wishes!

and Polonius said to Laertes "...this above all: to thine own self be true."

If one does not know whether they are good or bad, then they must be in the area of gray, and gray is late to the party. Gray does not know its own mind. Gray can not be counted on when dependability matters. Gray is lukewarm and will be spewed from the mouth.

Other than that, I have no opinion on this matter. Oh, and I am not gray.

That is an awful lot of assuming. Are you a wolf in sheep's clothing or a sheep in wolf's clothing? You have made two posts now which come from posts made on "another forum" per your own words. These posts bounce both sides and leave me confused as to what you are looking for or what forms your specific opinion. You mention Florida, well we already have a rousing discussion of this and how it can impact our rights here:

Is that what this post is about?

Best of wishes, but I would still like to hear your opinion rather than a compendium of others from someone else's forum.
