he would recognize us instantly.

I still feel that Cindy has performed a selfless service for America and the world by standing up for what she believes, and that one of the basic tenets of a free society is that she, and any other American should proudly stand up and shout against evil and injustice and most certainly against this corrupt, amoral adminstration and its corrupt, amoral war.

I also still feel that she voices some positions that I don't agree with and that don't benefit the Democratic party and our (fingers crossed) taking back of the government.

I assume some of your post was directed at me: I even harbor no ill will towards those that PM'ed me screaming "fuck you" over a post that was pretty innocuous, but expressed my feelings. I understand passions are high and people are furious at BushCo and are tired of losing fights. I know I am.

I hope we don't lose the ability to debate each other civilly and responsibly over issues where we disagree. I think most of us would agree on the general direction in which we wish to move this country. But, we don't have to walk in lockstep to get there: we aren't the religious rightwing and we should not behave like them.
