Thank you.
I learn something new everday on FR.
FR provides a great service where I can read things that the old media will never report.
I agree! Free Republic is addictive. I haven't made a bed, cleaned my house, or done the laundry since September 6, 2004! And now I know about bears! (Okay, the real truth is that I know about bears, food they prefer, why bears attack, bear hunting, and about their territory.)
Honestly, this (Free Republic), is a real wealth of information, isn't it?..... so many people from all walks of life. Everyone has much to contribute, and we all learn so much.
