Good for you, marie-aine! I've got one of the few, in western Colorado, Kerry/Edwards bumper stickers on my car, plus one from the Friends which says "Build Democracy...VOTE!" I've also got yard signs up for local Democrats. I do a lot of emailing re' the issues, etc. and urge everyone to VOTE!

I also tried to Keep on the sunny side. Maybe you'll have more luck with this thread.:-) Unfortunately, I think fear-mongering has a lot of folks so on edge, they either get silly or mean, in order to cope. Sure hope we can get some balance back.

I just self-published a small book which some folks say has inspired them or brought them comfort and I am grateful.

Thanks,
