As things get heated in the next 10 days, I would just like to point out that we are all Americans and in this together. Who ever wins, we will waive to our neighbors, smile at the person next to us in the cafe, and say, "Thank you" to the clerk at the post office.

I've disagreed very strongly with a lot of you, but if we cross paths in person, I would by you a drink or a cup of coffee in a New York minute.  Even if NY is going the way that I don't like.

Here's to the next 200 years of heated debate.

I've been rude to you many times before, and many apologies.  Some of the times it was in jest.  Other times in frustration.

Just kidding.  You know I love everyone here... even if you're wrong. :P

to the very few of you to whom I was rude that deserved it. . . well you know who you are.

*Group Hug*

Why America is a land of manly men who argue in manly ways. Where after the barbs and blows of political discord have bruised our egos and bloodied our noses we sit down together over a beer and laugh at our mutual belligerence.
