... who also join in to voice their opinions, and who do exactly what their party expects of them in the company of friends... Every Republican and Democrat (I'll pass on Joe L ) who I've listened to during this H'Care debate is asking that you do exactly what some of us are doing... and there is no problem with those who do not wish to join in, even though their private e-mails are comforting. ...and as long as the conversations are free of namecalling (at each other) I see no problem... and those threads are no different than any other threads... Though I will say that I've seen some pretty heated Roulette collector and chip-cleaning and sports threads since Day-1 when this BBS came to be that were far worse... So, to keep this strictly a chipboard without all the other subjects that pass thru may not be the safest advice by some.. I say let it be HotRods, Birtdays, Sports... or whatever; as long as it's kept civil... and, most of all... I do not believe there is anyone here who is above anyone else in suggesting that what may or what may not be acceptable under any circumstance.

So, continue with what you feel you need to do as will I and whomever wishes to join in.
