I thought we could do something in one election, but it may take longer. Of course it's a process, but I'm referring to a presidential win.

I think it's a money problem. Those with money tend to vote more conservatively. Plus lots of other things, like personal identification and whatnot.

I think it's important to do what I've been trying to do, which is not be emotional. I keep losing it though. I think the people doing the hijacking are a rare group that is endemic to forums, and am tending to ignore it, as tempting as it is to respond.

I am trying to understand how people like Bernie avoid the resentment that I have felt at times. We can't afford to have that if we're to be productive, that I know.

...and you make very good points about the money problem, personal ID and comfort levels...

I hope to read more of your posts in a friendlier environment...
