Hi everyone,

I respectfully request that this list not become another place where people
bash one political party's leaders or anothers'.  To say "we now have
responsible adults in charge that are used to solving problems rather than
causing them" really is an invitation to...well, I'm just not going to go
there...except to say the world is the way it is because of how ALL of us
have behaved in the past and how we choose to behave in the future.

Playing "victim" of one person (or group) or another is really no way to get
to the future we all say we want.  No one is on the sidelines in today's
world.  Even if you think you're taking "no action"...or think there's
nothing you can do...that behavior is a form of action.

We're all in this together,

Steve Brant
