I completely support your right to a dissenting opinion but I'm plum tuckered out of talking. I want action!<BR/><BR/>Let's keep it to writing.

Maybe the end will justify the means, but the process this year was depressing to me. We might just as well have gone directly to American Idol instead of having a campaign and election: Speeches without substance and media-annointed celebrity prevailed. <BR/><BR/>Political views are important and woven into the fabric of our lives, but maybe we should take this discussion outside, as they say. If not, I'm willing to contribute my thoughts and reasoning.Camille Minichinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04701150885595400018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-51165530347934235702008-11-07T11:15:00.000-05:002008-11-07T11:15:00.000-05:00You're so right, Terri.

We need to be ready for ourselves, or our characters, to grasp the changes and use them to propel us or our readers to the next exciting challenge. Let's hope all the pending changes in our country help us over the worst of hurdles fast!<BR/>--LindaLinda O. Johnstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01512430135042480450noreply@blogger.com
