Given how polite and respectful nearly a quarter of a million people were to each other, I'd say we're on a road to better times.Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03365582623380288038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8014482.post-34318630447365724212008-11-06T05:03:00.000-08:002008-11-06T05:03:00.000-08:00As usual I agree with all that you said.

But then I don't have <I>half</I> of the things on my plate that you have on yours!<BR/><BR/>I'm really sad for California about Prop 8. It seems to fly in the face of the constitution to me if everyone is equal except gay men and women. I don't think that bigotry should be enshrined in law.JaneyVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04951739945670483199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8014482.post-11716991880427778402008-11-06T03:14:00.000-08:002008-11-06T03:14:00.000-08:00One speech you didn't mention was Dubya's. I usual...One speech you didn't mention was Dubya's. I usually cringe and have to turn off the television when I see he's speaking but I was impressed with how he handled Obama's victory and he seemed truly sincere when he said that he and Laura were looking forward to welcoming Barack and Michelle to the White House. In his comments I could see a glimmer of the Bush that people (for example, Tony Blair) like, the guy you'd want to have a beer with.<BR/><BR/>I'm hopeful that congress will move in a more positive direction with Obama. The president sets the tone and I think congress will be re-energized with purpose. <BR/><BR/>Such a disappointment about Prop 8! But I was ecstatic to see that Prop 2 (the farm animal bill) passed in CA. <BR/><BR/>You may drop out of Nano? Well, I may join you in that. Maybe some years it's good to leave the Nano fields fallow? (That's my excuse and I'm sticking with it!). Then we'll attack Nano again next year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
