Larry,

I agree 100% with what you've just said.You and I almost always disagree on political issues but I've learned both here and on the other forums that you are a man with both a good mind and a good heart.I consider you a bro. and very much hope you feel the same way about things.If-at any time in the "heat of the moment"-I have said anything that hit you on a personal level,please be advised that it was unintentional and consider this a sincere appology for same.

Used to hang around with a group of wonderfully strange folks known as the SCA.They were (and are I assume)about a lot of things.One of their activites was to suit up in especially modified armor,take up highly modified "swords","maces","axes",etc.;then go out on the field and try their level best to kill each other.Soon as the event was over they could all be found laughing and drinking together.This reminds me of the political forum when it works like it ought to.

I swear off coming any where near the political forum about every other week.Then-after a few days-I just gotta take a little peek;then the first thing I know I've spent two or three days makeing posts.Then I swear off it again.Maybe you'll have better self-control than I do.If so I'll see ya on the other forums.

Good luck.

Peace

Hal
