Whatever, MsRobbie.  My apologies.  Evidently, I lost you and, I know you have now lost me, even though now, apparently, you appear to think you have correctly pegged me as a "labeler."  (But, wait, isn't that a label?  LOL)  Just because I said that apparently you're a democrat doesn't mean that I was able to sum you up in that one word.  Wow, wouldn't it be amazing to have that ability?  I'd be making a HECKUVA lot more money than I do now!  I just need to use different, more specific, words to eventually get to the same general place of common ground, and it takes me longer to get there than it does you.  Who knows?  I most certainly didn't mean for the discussion I originally started to be finished in one or two postings.  I had hoped that it would develop and that others could throw in their take on things.  I know it is possible there are things I haven't taken into consideration in molding my personal worldview and, by discussing controversial things with others, I hope to grow as a person.  Remember, you didn't have to respond to my posting, but you chose to.  I'm glad that you did; however, I assumed (an error on my part) that we might actually get somewhere other than to this place.  I'm saddened by the turn this has taken.  



Ah, if only we could all say what we meant in a way that other people would understand our heart at the same time, regardless of the medium in which we choose to express ourselves.  I wish I could add vocal inflections and facial expressions, but we both know that is impossible.  It appears that neither one of us is strictly anything, politically speaking, and we both have "way strong" feelings on certain topics, just like anyone would.  And, obviously, right now, we do not agree.  I find it impossible to go through life talking in generalizations that will never offend anyone.  Too ho-hum for me.  (I think that is the one thing I have in common with MustangSally, wherever she's gone now that "that other place" is inoperative.)



And, you're probably right that TAA is not the place for discussions like this.  On the other hand, though, it does liven things up a bit, so I wish that it were.  It's kind of a Catch 22, if you ask me, regarding having a place on this website where people can get more into things.  Have a good rest of the week. And, if in order to have a good week, you need to lock me out of here, I understand.  Next time I want to get deep, I'll go look up a website on Nietzche or Goethe.
