a quiet corner on the info superhighway for the rantings and ruminations of a geezer bemused by modern society. political correctness is left at the curb. "An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life. Robert A. Heinlein "

Chill, bro. Good sense actually knows no party or other affiliation. Every now and then our elected leaders actually exhibit some of this quality, but usually not.
C., i've had a hard time lately finding any sense of "good sense" coming from any of our elected officials. it get's a bit disconcerting to realize the "good of the people" is constantly being undermined by "the good of the political party/ideology". makes me wonder sometimes at the direction we are heading in.
any you are right, any "common sense" coming from a pol, regardless of party affiliation, needs to be recognized and applauded.
having said that, i'm still trying to wash my hands after typing i actually agreed with something HRC said. (ha!)
Seems we're headed into a new world of nothing but extremes, a place where we all forget what we have in common and can only see what our differences are. You know, the lowest common denominator. This will involve no action other than knee-jerk reaction and no responsibility. I'm really looking forward to it! We won't be able to be friends, then, since I'm nothing more than a bleeding heart liberal douchebag and you're insert epithet of your choice here, since it's not like me to cast aspersions. Did I say that right? *smooch*
Just joking about the friends part, fella. Unless you're retracting your kitchen invitation, that is. Then it's all out war.
i would sooner cut off my left pinkie than garner the ire of one so connected to the earth as you. i may be a heathen , but i respect the power some people seem able to call. how's that for a response!
and that whole kitchen thing? you and the hobbit are invited to my kitchen any time.
