I had planned to go to town today, to do some shopping ......and just found I have a flat tire. Until reading your kind response, I was experiencing 15 minutes of frustration. However, my nearest neighbor has a garage, and he'll be there a little after 4 this afternoon. Hopefully, he can patch the darned thing for me.

Your post reminds me of something my mentor, Rubin Carter, told me years ago: if your vehicle has a flat tire, change it. He wasn't talking about automobiles, of course. But I'll apply that lesson to the current circumstance! (grin)

I'd like to think that much of the nonsense on this forum can be applied to the party's growing pains. I'd hate to think that it's shrinking pains. I remember a year ago, while three of us were going door-to-door campaigning for Bernie in Oneonta, NY, we encountered two people going door-to-door for Hillary. Though Oneonta is a small city, there was room for all of us. The same holds true for the Democratic Party, and even DU.
