Reply #138: HEY! Welcome! Glad you're here - we all DO need to talk.

Ida just performed a Magnificent Public Service. I wish I were that stalwart. I'm sorry to be reading here that her thread over there has already been banned - but more than 100 people responded? THIS is a good thing. I didn't try looking in over there, kinda hard for me to stomach, but I gather, second-hand, that at least some of the responses were human-being-type, rather than just hellfire and damnation and closed minds. THAT'S where we need to start, as Americans. I wish we weren't so divided. It's just not good for EITHER side. And it'll sink us all in the long run.

I am prepared to fight, fight hard, and fight dirty if need be. It seems as though many over there, and many who share those views wish only evil upon me, so it's awfully hard to respond peacefully. It doesn't work on bullies, either. But frankly, I'd rather use olive branches.
