Thank you Susan.  Nice words on the matter.

It boils down to being able to deal with the fact that people have differing
views on just about any subject, and politics is perhaps most illustrative of
this. In a country where so many freedoms are held so fundementally to be human
right, it is incredible that so many could become so confused as to how to stand
up for these values.

Wanting someone murdered because he offers a different point of view then your
own, in the name of freedom. The level of deepness to this thinking is simply
astounding. Not really far from bombing some country because they stand for
something different when it comes down to it.

What ever happened to "walk quietly but carry a big stick" ?
