I LOVE COMMENTS! | 2004-10-10
The first thing I do when I drag myself out of my coffin in the morning is to look here for comments.
It is a real disappointment when I look at the bottom of an article and see that (0) as the number of comments. This is my personal place. This is my personal talk. This is my personal conversation, and you know what happens to people who just talk to themselves.
Seriously, though, Don and Elizabeth have been doing most of the comments, and I appreciate them deeply. I don't want to discourage them. But I would like to have some more people drop a line here.
A couple of the statements here were very hostile. That's fine with me. You don't spend a lifetime in politics and expect people to be nice to you all the time. Insults are a dime a dozen, and I will look beneath the anger to see if there is something I need to answer or something I need to change or reconsider.
At least the people who insult me give a damn about what I'm talking about, and for a political fanatic like me, the subject is a lot more important to me than one more negative opinion.
Look, not only do I write this mess, I put my name on it. If I am ready to face embarrassment like that, the least you can do is to make a few comments under an assumed name.
