Re: OT - This is serious

Well, I meant to make a comment too, more along the lines of we are all
friends here, despite our sometimes varied views on life and I for one,
like to think it makes us a more human, more real group of people than
some of the more sterile, singular purpose groups out there. And I
happen to like it that way. I wouldn't dream of censoring any one on
this list...just my two cents worth!

Hi, Verona. Meant to add a comment after your post but forgot [senior
<br>moment]. Jimmy Carter was a terrible president. But, unlike the
current <br>one, he was a very decent human being who did not
continually lie to <br>cover his bad decisions.<br><br><br>On Saturday,
