We're good...and it's very good to see you here again. Where have you been and what have you been doing?

WELCOME BACK!

Hey ex, welcome back. Hope you stick around to defend George Bush now that you know we were right about him. It would be nice to hear you explain your brain fart.

That's OK. We forgive you. Everyone has a lapse of concentration at times. One finds it hard to focus on reality at all times.

Welcome back and stick around. We need more D' n A' discussions.

Welcome back. It will be nice to argue with a Bush supporter for a change. I'm really tired of explaining things to these Libertarians and other assorted Ron Paulbearers.

Hi Catherine. Ive just been here and there. Ive been cruising around on the siteevery so often but havent posted in a long while as you can see. I experimented with trying to see what it is like to be just like one of the uninformed masses of sheeple for a while ( taking a break from news and politics) So they say ignorance is bliss, but it was very difficult not to chime in on a political discussion when they arose. I found myself more and more entrenched in the sports and bar scene where politics are not supposed to be mixed. Since I need to get at least two sides of the story to form a reasonable opinion, i found myself not watching any news at all. Seeing how ingesting solely the mainstream media's view would have severely dumbed me down, i felt it was necessary to go cold turkey. The result was less stress but a longing for information. And the realization of how minute the average persons awareness of whats really going on in the world and world of politics really is. It really is scary. I have much catching up to do, but its going to be a lot of fun doing so.

How about everyone else?

We kicked binky to the curb a long time ago. He was not a very good citizen, to say the least.
