Thanks for this one, Rick. I think the main "problem" is that we are each individuals, coming at things from our own personalities & experiences. These color how we see issues, making it very hard to pigeonhole us in one political box. As you know, Rick, I am coming from the largely conservative side, but I love & admire you just the same. I have some very liberal friends & sometimes we need to agree to disagree (Sometimes, we even need to agree to not discuss certain issues!), but we have enough sense to value the friendship of good folks.

Awake in NY & wondering if we really *will* get 2-4 inches of snow today,
