Maybe I don't notice the politics too much since I <i>think</i> I'm pretty much on the same page, but don't think that Allan really goes into political stuff too often.<br /><br />Even if I felt his position was in contrast to mine but I find the percentage of political postings to be so low that I'd like to think I've continue to visit anyway. Which is to say I have a hard time understanding the low tolerance of people like ToddH for differing viewpoints.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00097483445247878842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-8239275460491434562011-03-07T08:02:55.808-08:002011-03-07T08:02:55.808-08:00Bye, Todd!

That way everyone will have a higher standard of living. At some point.<br /><br />All you have to do is trust that the wealthy have your best interests at heart.
