Hiya Mike! I don't know why I didn't put you on my watchlist a long time ago. I would so much rather hang out with critical thinkers than these abject morons who care not if they rape, pillage and plunder the earth and their neighbor. Looks like I have a lot of reading to catch up with here. Keep up the great work! There's much of it to do!

Mike, You write good, thought-provoking articles. While we might not agree on the purpose or function of government, there is something we agree on, " Your instinct and heart will mostly tell you what's right. " ... I am grateful to have 'real people' like you as a Newsvine friend...CL

I know, right! Mike, any and everyone over the age of 18 has to get out there and vote on Nov. 4th as if their life depended on it (which it does) Just the thought of having another 4 years of McBush has me shivering in my shoes. Oh yeh, and he wants to bring the draft back. Will his daughter be forced to serve in the armed forces like my son would be. I think not!
You sure like Al! So do I. I always have. Even when he was running against Clinton, I preferred Al and Tipper.
