I just want to add that I enjoy the political discussions. The level of intelligence for these discussions in this group is much higher than any other group I've been a part of. Even though I strongly disagree with some people, I harbor no ill-will toward any.
I've been a member of CF-Community since the very first day of this list. A lot of you probably don't know that because I hardly ever participated. I didn't participate because I just wasn't interested in social banter. I'm not criticizing those who do. I'm just saying it's not for me. I remained a member because once in awhile something would come up of interest. Since the start of political discussions, I've been much more engaged in the list. I find this a nice outlet. I don't see why the non-politic types should dictate to us political types. If you don't like the politics, you don't have to read the messages. As far as I know, no harm has been done here. I don't think there are any real enemies, even when we STRONGLY disagree.

'Thinking' these days is kind of like being the savage out of Huxley's Brave New World... everyone looks at you strange because you refuse to take soma. (ducks for cover :-)) maybe houseoffusion.com would consider starting a new group cf-politics :-) Benjamin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary P.
