109. When I found the story and posted it....
...I saw that it was a short story with little info. I was hoping that (in usual fashion) the folks at DU would add to the story with new information. I also knew that (due to the subject matter) we would get some reaction that would be extreme. I like DU because it helps me see my political group with a clear vision - there are many patient, truth-seeking peoples as well as many knee-jerk types. All-in-all this is the most informative and open forum I have seen which is open to stories and discussions like this - Thanks for your input.
