Glad to be here.

I enjoy spirited, intelligent, and respectful debate. I look forward to reading and posting and vow to never be insulting on a personal level to anyone here. I will express myself without apology regarding religion, politics, and other matters of discourse but I won't get nasty. thanks for having me. Rich

Welcome aboard. Things can get heated at times and it is OK to argue. The key is to not go on the personal attack when someone does not agree. The answer is to agree to disagree.

Now if only I could abide by that !

Welcome Prisoners. Good to have you.

We all recognize the right of others to be wrong, and our right to point out
just how wrong they are.

Regards,

D-Ray

BTW, what makes you think I fit ANY of those stereotypes? Was it my (so far only) post about Michelle Bachman? Plenty of rational people of all leanings feel she's an embarrassing idiot.
Or was your assessment an attempt at a humorous exaggeration? Either way you need to sharpen your aim.
