My dear fellow, Lord Crabtree, is it?

You are suggesting that people cast their votes based on sound thinking and principle. Not so...remember the last election when a guy said he got up the morning of the election, turned on the TV and decided he would vote against the first politician featured on a negative ad he saw that day? Now there's a thoughtful voter!

It's so cold here this week that yesterday I saw a politician with his hands in HIS OWN pockets!!

Hi Ben: Sheraton and I discussed this post yesterday while doing dishes, and we both disagree with you heartily. I hate conversations in comment sections, so we'll have to discuss some other time. kpg

Hey KPG: Yeah, I can see why you and Sheraton would have problems with that. It's not exactly the most eloquent or structured argument I've ever made. And I can sympathize with your comments conversations business. I tried that a few times and it ended poorly. I guess we can raise this issue again when I'm in Mpls...but who knows when that will be? Peace.

Ran across your blog and think you are on the mark. To vote for a woman mainly because she is a woman, rather than, "and she's also a woman" shows very superficial judgment in deciding who should be commander-in-chief...likewise regarding race. In this era, and in this country, it should be their capability to lead people toward solutions that are for the greater good. Character should be the foundation, not race or gender.
