I agree with you. I wish people could just be people without the politics. I
have friends on both sides and we all seem to get along until that one mouthy
Liberal mind wants to stir the stink pot. I was brought up to keep religion in
church and politics in the voting booth. If we can keep that ideal things seem
to work out better. I hope you are doing well these days Borax.
