There is a tremendous amount of arrogance and hostility newcomers (I was one recently enough) meet with when wading into political threads here, Jack The Sailor. So perhaps you, as a hardened veteran of these discussions, might want to take that on board too. I have adjusted my behavior to meet the behavior those here before me. Yes, I can certainly give as good as I get, can't I?

Peace, I suppose it isn't odd to remark that there are few people of color at McCain's rallies. But how many people of color use this forum?
