Hey, I have to side with Mendo here, Kathy. You, and carol, and TomK, and a few others always keep it civil. And that makes it a worthwhile virtual watering hole. I also try to stay civil, but I feel I may have tossed in the odd colorful name from time to time. I can't help but notice however, that sometimes this place gets vicious. Founding Fathers and First Amendments notwithstanding... the question was never about your right to be vicious here or anywhere else (and believe me, I don't think you, personally, are) ... but rather why any elected official would voluntarily choose to mix it up in here? There's nothing to gain and a whole lot to lose...
