Paul, Thanks for your informative response. I still think that you are writng with a strong left bent. I may not agreed with everything but I do agree that there is coruption in DC on both sides that is spawned by $$$. Not that it would concern you but I won't unfriend you on FB. We must remember that we are a Republic Democracy and not a true democracy (Of which I am very grateful).

Thank you again Rusty for the kind response as well. As far as being "unfriended" it would actually have mattered. I take friendship, old, new or otherwise seriously.

As for our Republic, I share your gratitude for it and all the effort that goes into keeping it, if we can. President James Madison worried and for good reason that a direct democracy would end in mob rule. He was right and I am grateful that he not only did the homework on representative government but based on his analysis, fathered our Constitution.

I respect your opinion regarding how you see my writing, despite disagreeing with your conclusion. The fact that you had the moral courage to talk this out respectfully, is a lesson to be heeded for all Americans, regardless of political beliefs, or otherwise.

My kindest regards, to you and yours,

Paul
