colin,
What a nice truly thought out comment. Unfortunately, you are incorrect in so much of it. The vast majority of THIS country leans either right or center, not left. And I am proud of this country for that very reason. We are born (or at least most of us) with an innate common sense. We know wrong when we see it and we don't like it. Maybe that's because we are born free without an intrusive force in our lives like the Government. And maybe Colin, that is exactly why some of us are fighting like mad now to save or regain that freedom. This country is truly the last bastion of freedom and it takes sacrifice and debate, hopefully respectful debate, to continue on this course of freedom. I wish for you, Colin, that you experience that true feeling of freedom that comes from being an American. That feeling in and of itself gives you the the strength and the audaciousness to fight for it until your dying breath, to be assured that your children and grandchildren enjoy the same freedoms you did whilst you were growing up in this country. It is truly a gift, which I want everyone to experience and covet, so they may all fight for it.
