rarelamb - sigh of relief. At first I took you for another Gibson, but I'm glad that it isn't so.
While the lines run hot between the political gangs, we lean back and calmly await the Dresden by-election.
As a head of a poll station I'm just fed up with the counting for a while; because of a lot of untrained helpers we needed nearly 2 hours instead of my usual half (had to count 685 votes for a second time because ten were missing, but I found them!)

What about the socialistic nonsense? In my youth I was a Social Democrat, too, but when I grew older and learned a little bit more about the world ...
There is a joke: Who is 20 years old and isn't a socialist has no heart. Who is 40 years old and is still socialist has no brain.
No harm intended!
