That's what I've always loved about the folk community, jacqui. It is pretty welcoming. Now, if you are a Republican, or a Christian, you might feel differently but Mudcat is no different than anyplace else. It's as much what you bring to the group as it is to what the group gives you. I come here as a seriosly commited Christian who loves Jesus Christ, and feel welcome and not rejected because of my beliefs. Maybe that's because I welcome everyone into my home and my life, no matter what their beliefs. I believe that we are rejected in the same proportion as we reject others.
