You said the same thing to me in 2004 and 2000 Don. And by saying that, apparently you think you are successfully painting me into a Sixties stereotype that you find harmful, even if the rest of us can't quite figure out what stereotype it is supposed to be.

Sixties radical is my best guess. But that doesn't really make any sense, because *your* stereotypical sixties radical was very political, and tried damn hard to have an immediate effect upon electoral politics a la the 68 Democratic convention in Chicago.

Sorry to disappoint, but I spent my summer swimming at the water hole in MN that year, not mixing it up in Grant Park with the Yippies, Don. While the whole world was watching, I was working on my tan, playing marathon games of canasta, and drinking brews around the beach bonfire, waiting for the northern lights to show up.

I guess your world view doesn't allow you to believe anything other than participating in the current political system by voting Democratic, as the one and only way of making the world a better place.

God help us all if that is actually the case.

I don't believe that, and I never have. Not even in back in the Sixties.
