Chas........let me say this as friendly as I could, since you just gave me a "friendly tip."

What part of "If I wanted to talk about "blah," I could give you a mouthful about "blah" did you not understand? In layman's terms, it means to me that if I wanted to talk about politics, I'm not one to mince words or lay down a smoke screen to try and disguise something. Where I live everyone is a "straight shooter".....we say what we mean! The translation for that is simple: If I wanted to talk about politics I would have just come out and said it.

Now let me ask you something? Why did you feel it necessary to attack my post? I put it up in good faith because I thought it was something novel to talk about....something different from the run-of-the-mill posts that have been happening lately. And this is what I get for trying to add some sparkle to the discussions.

So the question again is: Why did you feel it necessary to attack my post? Dollars to donuts you don't answer the question!
