What higher praise can a writer receive than to know his words have people thinking and talking!<BR/><BR/>I thought your posting was well written and I enjoyed reading the comments. I'll be stopping back and hope you'll revisit my page from time to time, as well.<BR/><BR/>Be well!<BR/><BR/>Frank - from A Layman's POVLaymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00917216581615666272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3989405.post-58944063481699780312008-02-12T08:48:00.000-08:002008-02-12T08:48:00.000-08:00I got all excited when I saw you write "I was ple...I got all excited when I saw you write "I was pleased to discover I bookmarked this post from A Layman's Point of View "<BR/><BR/>I was wondering if his point of view was different from mine!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3989405.post-21328843245463777572008-02-11T15:44:00.000-08:002008-02-11T15:44:00.000-08:00If I actually helped a stranger move might depend,...If I actually helped a stranger move might depend, but I certainly wouldn't pester a busy stranger with questions.<BR/><BR/>Good point, I'll make a small edit, I meant we should listen to our opponents and stop to think, but not actually to agree a Repub would be more likely to help a stranger move. Even if the latter were true, who would be more likely to get into a fight with a stranger if slightly provoked?Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17409752101270943945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3989405.post-4716784081681674182008-02-11T15:05:00.000-08:002008-02-11T15:05:00.000-08:00As moi oft times has cause to remark - "American c...As moi oft times has cause to remark - <I>"American conservatives use the 1000 degree napalm whilst the American liberals use the 999.9 degree napalm."</I><BR/><BR/>[NOTE: The term "American" is interchangeable with "Empire (and Empire wannabe) Resident"]<BR/><BR/>BTW: The Earth's magnetic north pole is REALLY a south pole and versa visa.<BR/><BR/>Stay on groovin' safari,<BR/>Torhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03037704048671379868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3989405.post-77260097990195728492008-02-11T11:03:00.000-08:002008-02-11T11:03:00.000-08:00I think Republicans may actually give more to spec...I think Republicans may actually give more to specific charities - at least, the kind they approve of - but they don't want to pay taxes, even though giving through taxes buys more. <BR/><BR/>Like, I couldn't afford private American-style healthcare on my income, but I pay for the NHS, and <I>everybody</I> has healthcare - and it's cheaper than private insurance would be.<BR/><BR/>I'd have to know who you are and what the boxes are before I could offer an opinion on the boxes, but everyone I hang out with would pitch in to help a friend, or even some strangers. Then again, I suppose most of them regard themselves as "socialists" rather than "progressives".Avedonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04702100335744054401noreply@blogger.com
