BTW Alan...you are TOO CUTE!
Anyhoo...I've found that politics and religion do not make for good discussion due to the diversity of the folks on any given forum. It always seems to end up in overly heated discussions with both stand taken a firm, unmoving stand.
It gets old fast and just feels like arguing to me.
If you say you love Sarah Palin people go nuts...if you say you love Nancy Palosi people go nuts so while I love a good debate I prefer to speak about roses and ducks. At least I can say anal here.
