:-) I understand what you are saying. I was more going with the parties that Jefferson explained always existed within a society and trying to determine which would fit each group in today's standards. It's of course not a perfect description of e...

Bludgeon away, Topher. While I don't doubt my ability to comprehend the liberal positions (including motivations behind it), I do doubt my ability to write them out as efficiently and eloquently as you have ours. Besides, I'm not really in this ...

Actually the Veggie Tales writers are pretty clever and I'll take them over "Barney" any day. The problem was that he had them turned up too loud while his baby sister was sleeping. I had no sooner hollered up the stairs at him (Yes, I "Hollered"...

As a rule, a man looks great in a Tuxedo.



I realized this last night, looking at my own reflection in the mirror, macked out in my all-time favorite look. It wasn't just that I was dressed up; I wear a suit every day. No there's something extra special about the look of a tux that just elevates a man.… Continue

What is all the hoopla about healthcare reform in the U.S. - the response

I appreciate thehuhman for getting this discussion started. I appreciate the post of the congessman's video, although I'll have to respectfully disagree. I have three points of disagreement:

1. The first and biggest issue we have in the United States, is that we don't have a health care program. We have a health care market. We are, in fact, the only industrialized nation to trust the health of its citizens to a for-profit free-market who is incentivized to limit coverage. In just one ex… Continue

I saw that Topher, and I decided to let Will handle it as it seemed like he had a solid conversation going with the guy. I was disappointed that the guy took it down. I'll sure pray with you about him.

Thanks Topher. I take that as a high compliment indeed. Often, you really stretch my thinking. I like that. And, as for your compliment ... I can truly say, "Ditto, brother." Herb

I attended a formal charity fundraiser event. I love the opportunity to wear a dinner jacket. I met a gentleman wearing a dinner jacket and a formal kilt. It was impressive. He wore all the accoutrement appropriate to the kilt. It was very many indeed.

I would agree. This one is definately a candidate for management!

Hi Topher. I sincerely appreciate your response on the Healthcare issue today. In fact, the way you handled it, was perfect. So much for an open and shut case huh? Did I really think it was going to be open and shut? LOL.

Nice advice my friend. I will be rolodexing that golden nugget. My son is like me loves to be around people and likes to be involved. I will be watching him and seeing what his personality develops into.
