Reply #69: Here's my thoughts on that, bertman. I do believe we know each other here at DU ...

... and, in many ways, we know each other better than my neighbors know me. This is the place where we can say what we mean and mean what we say on a host of issues. And to stand by what we say and do to the extent that we welcome comments and controversy -- all comers.

I do believe I know many DUers very well, though I could not pick them out of a small crowd. But we have communicated, deeply and well, for seven years. And that has always meant a lot.

Some of you have been along for my ride for some or all of that time or, if you've gotten to knbow me recently, you have gotten to know me well. If that describes you, then I would welcome a letter or an affidavit of support.

As mike_c and Sonias have said above, they know me through and because of this virtual world -- a world inhabited by hopeful romantics when it comes to saving our democracy and returning cannabis to the medical pharmacopoeia. As a result, your letters would (will) mean much.
