Amen and "mega dittos" to Tom Lawford's comments about concerned
conservatives. We are here and we do watch and read. We try to be
thoughtful, reflective, and non-reactionary. My hope is that those on the
left-ward side of the idealogical continuum would maintain a similar
openness. Stereotyping is a non-productive and disabling habit of
otherwise intelligent minds. (Not all conservatives are Newtonian.)
