Dear Dewey:

The critical point around which these things hinge is communication. You seem like a good and intelligent feller and Lord knows the world needs more of those. If you are willing to state your views on the issues and stay in communication without resorting to ad hominem and categorical arguments, then I think you should post as much as you want.

You and I both have a weakness in that we have some sort of desire to have our descriptions of the world get across and be accepted, and there have been times when I have gotten assertive about things. And you as well. It's a wide spread human weakness, I guess.   But we can work on it.

JimmyT is a fine feller and he communicates well. Why, he's so friendly you wouldn't know he was a Republican until he said so.:>) And he has found himself a whole mess of friends around here, and no reason you shouldn't do so as well,.
