You are more than welcome, sir. As for "talking too much", Jim Wooten has you outdone.

I should have stopped it sooner, but all I can say is that the inanity coming my way set me off because it was so vitriolic and contemptuous. On a day when we *all*--white as well as black, man as well as woman--should have celebrated, someone brought in hatred of the lowest order. And the thing is, this isn't even really about Obama: i have my issues with the man too. Like I said, I was backing Kucinich, Edwards, and Clinton. I struggled in the voting booth before choosing Obama over Clinton. No, this is more about the fact that America took a baby step toward some type of open mindedness by putting a man of color who *ain't* Clarence Thomas in this position. It's about the fact that a woman almost made it, that either would of them *could* have made it. It says we're not quite screwed up as a people--not totally. And rather than celebrate that accomplishment and yes, doing so while acknowledging there's still work to be done on the -ism's front, someone decided to belittle and diminish the whole thing. Decided to attack me personally, and become the symbol of the very thing this great day is trying to overcome. But I'm done. I can't prove my heart to anyone, save the friends nad loved ones that matter. And the time taken to try to reason with and understand someone who's spouting irrational hatred, who slaps down the hand of someone trying to bridge a gap, is time draining my soul for the more important things i should be doing, like writing my book and improving my life. So sorry, won't happen again. Back to the DNC! :)
