I just see more need for tolerance, for understanding, than the policies that you advocate generally endorse. It seems to me that there is a place for compromise and understanding, rather then for dogmatism. Take care of yourself, and let's get together and talk. Communication is the best facilitator.

How hard is that to figure out, Bentcorner? And we have Mitch McConnell, who propagated the GOP smear of the Frost's as a way to prevent the override of Bush's veto.
