Well if your remark about the nuke was tongue-in-cheek, I think mine about Ohio was obviously equally so. I don't mind being called left-wing or liberal, I'm sure compared to you and many others, I am. (I've never figured out why chip collectors, or at least the majority on Greg's board, are so ultra-conservative.) What I objected to was the implication that I didn't appreciate the freedom we have in this country, since this is completely untrue.

It does sound like we both agree, though, that the current situation in Iraq is a mess. I hope every American who is living in Saudi Arabia leaves and every American company pulls their money out. If all we left-wing liberals in California have to buy electric cars as a result, so be it.
