Not as short as you might think.

I was only suggesting we treat each other with civility and not serve to further divide our community.

Fortunately, we have some very knowledgeable folks on this list who can

see through the junk posts and even post the truth.

,I was wondering tonight whether Al Gore's book, The Assault on Reason, may have made a bit of a difference in this election. The election isn't quite over yet, but,... I find it wonderful that there was such an increase in voter turnout. I guess that could have happened for various reasons. Al Gore encouraged younger generations to care more about what was happening politically, but at the same time, it could be that people were voting in droves because they were fed up with the present government. Anyway, if any of you have the time or inclination, reading or listening to Gore's The Assault on Reason is a worthwhile experience, or at least, I found it to be so.AasaP.S., Celebrating tonight

(hopefully not too prematurely!!)!!

You call this humor?!? I call it mean spirited!

Totally agree with you. Let's not ..."serve to further divide our community."

Just a suggestion - now that the election is over -take a look at some of your posts over the last 30 days.

Divisive? "You betch ya!"(Wink)
