Reply #11: Many thanks...and for sharing that.

"Conscience being my guide." I probably shouldn't have contacted them..I have to hope that my contacting meant something somewhere...since I explained to them that George Bush is a liar, thief and stole elections, but I told they they knew me since I was five years old...so why would I lie to them.

But...to them...I'm an outcast because I "moved away" and they stayed where they were in the George Bush South...where they have friends and support.

I am an "outlier" to them. But, they were gracious and kind in my phone conversation...so maybe not "all" is lost. When I told them I protested both Bush and Cheney here in my state...I heard a "gasp" but they did seem to respect what I said.

Maybe there's hope ...but it was really devastating.

Anyway, thanks.
