I know this was not a comment for me but I wanted to comment anyway. You are one of very few people with a decidedly liberal bent on this forum who can have a conversation with a conservative without name calling and gratuitous remarks that are too personal.

I've always admired your ability to stick to the issues and your beliefs and be civil about it. You're a special lady.

Richie... thank you so much for this post.

You are so welcome. You do this forum thing better than I, but I'm striving.
