....about politics in the "New Senate Majority" thread, can we all please take a moment to realize that tomorrow is Veterans Day?  

Whatever your preferences were, I'm sure you all voiced them at the ballot box.  The fact that you were able to do so has been made possible in a very large measure by the men & women of our armed forces, both past & present.  Slim & none are the chances that those with different political views or affiliations are going to change the mind of the other side or that agreement will be reached on anything significant.  But I would hope that you can at least recognize that our Vets have helped make it possible it possible for you to agree or disagree with our leadership without fear of anything more than the type of debating that took place in that particular thread & so many others like it in the past.    

For at least a while, let's take a time-out from the all the other things to honor the courage & dedication of our Vets.  Perhaps everyone can agree on that?
