All that being said, I have always enjoyed and sometimes marveled at how you and some others here at FR have withstood the ups and downs of the forum and our nation's travails.

It helps to know who the "wrist slitters" are. :-)

Because we know whose opinion here matters and whose doesn't. We have civil discussions about all these topics all the time.

Lately that's been a problem, but it doesn't really matter; there are people here with an agenda -- and it's not just about immigration. But cooler heads always prevail.

And I have been reading YOUR posts on this; you'd be surprised how much we agree on.

Those with sane ideas will come together on other threads and fight another fight.

I think for the most part most of us are on the same sheet of music, just different stanzas occasionally and a few folks are totally tone deaf and a little off key to say the least.

and Yes, there will always be another fight.

I can't wait for '08. Vote GOP unless it's McCain Graham , then just plan on taking a long vacation south of the border. 8-)
