Thanks, DougR. I'm not offended. I just prefer to have my posts stand on their own merit and not be misconstrued or lumped in with anyone else's.

Most of the time I prefer to keep my opinions about politics to myself around here. Makes for a more peaceful existance overall. And I agree, political activism is best accomplished at home and in our communities. A music forum doesn't seem like the most effective place to try to make changes in the political system. That's how it looks to me, anyway.

Thanks for clarifying your intentions for me, though.

Take care,

Carol
