big-boss,
Thanks for the kind words. Yes, being kind to people works the best. It's hard to have a discussion when the first thing you say to someone you just met is, "You're wrong." You aren't likely to win many friends that way. I think many people would be surprised by how much we all have in common with each other. Many people say yesterday was a "Tea Party victory." I don't think it was a Tea Party victory as much as it was an American victory. Newly engaged people got involved and influenced the process. That is how it is supposed to work. I have been in countries where it doesn't work that way. I have traveled all over the world and no matter where I have been, I am always thrilled to be back in America.
Yes, America was founded on responsibility and accountability. Hopefully, we can bring some of that back to government. It's been away for too long...on both sides.
David
