I hope you at least come back to read this. I am very sorry to see you go. Your input has been appreciated and I found your posts to be valuable and informative. I am truly sad to see you go.
It saddens me to see someone particularly with the experiences and dedication to our country feel that even here on UP we are unable to have a civil exchange of ideas. Very little in our world in black and white and it appears we are losing the ability to have a nuanced conversation about very serious and complicated issues. some of you know me personally and have we have discussed the current affairs of our country, elections, officials, etc. I have not written much because of the difficulty in expressing what i feel are the complete feelings I have. I do have strong feeling about the current state and future of our country. I have friends that feel differently and honestly that is what should make our country great! Jefferson and Adams had seriously conflicting opinions while founding this great experiment. Their respect for one another allowed them to create what we are all so lucky to have as our country.
Gadget, we have never met, but you will be missed.
