It's funny to me that you say your opinion/insight/knowledge should not be respected. Everyone takes in info from a variety of sources and makes of it what they will. You are exposed to a lot and understand a lot, and you're selling yourself short. Your opinions do deserve respect. And nobody's opinion should be adopted without critical consideration.

Anyway, glad to hear it's not personal. I understand that you're not going to support Ron Paul and I'm interested----who have you decided that you will support? Have you made that choice? I have been working on my plans B-Z, since plan A just about never comes through.
