Tell you what, DougR, I'll continue to read it and others like it if you, in turn, read and digest some books we recommend. There's a whole library of them that could do you a world of good.

Like a good many Mudcatters, I expect, I do check out books from the library (danged if I'll buy them, though) written by people with views opposing mine and I read them carefully. And I also listen to a number of very strange people on TV that I would not have in my home otherwise. One of the people, however, that I do not watch on television is the current president Bush. I much prefer to read his speeches, because his body language and other mannerisms is so distasteful to me.
