"Fool" stroupe, you shut-up and go spend more time with your 7 year old god-daughter. go play dolly with her.

Don, thank you oh thank you for reminding me this is a free country. I rely on your posts to get me through life so very much. NOT!

Amos, Ditka as you probably heard said he will not run. You show that you know very little about Mike Ditka the man, or Illinois politics in general, as Illinois is quite possibly the biggest Democratic stronghold in the country. Lumping all from illinois as not knowing anything about equality for women is both accusatory and shows you are not at all the intellectual you claim to be, but just another reactionary goon, whether liberal or conservative. Even though he claims to be quite conservative, most everyone in Chicago, where he has been a beloved personality for many years, knows Ditka is very honest, answers to know one, tells it like it is, and fully believes in what he thinks. However, the democrat Barack Obama is a quite fine candidate who's star is rising and could eventually be one of the true leaders of the Democratic party. He is both believable and extremely intelligent. Would have been interesting if Ditka ran, but it was just something fun to talk about for a few days.

As far as real thought goes, why should I dwell on it with you? consider that life is too short to dwell on what is and what isn't "real" thought. If you spent less time on dwelling on what is real thought, you might just fine that you smile more.
