David, for just an old engineer you are becoming quite astute.

Your approach with the NYT guys was great, I have had such opportunity myself- it really works. Lets get to know each other before we go to battle- it is such a simple concept that no one ever seems to try.

I always remember back to the 911 days we were all Americans with a bond. My dad remembers back to WWII, the same feeling.

We Americans seem to always forget that we are Americans first and some of us even forget that we really are an exceptional people. We are here together, we want to be free, we want to help each other and if we are left to ourselves we will 9 out of 10 times do the right thing for the right reasons and we should be trusted.

These are only some of the reasons the Tea Party made such an impact- they really have reminded us, Americans, who we are and why we are here. They (we) did it with out a war or major catastrophe. Quite amazing- that is why the movement is here to stay- or more importantly ---Why it came back to the surface of our American ways.

Good going David!!!
