I've been good about not getting into the flame wars. I like the people that start them too much to let politics get in the way of my empeg friendships.

I refrained from commenting in the "how about Kerry" thread for that reason, approximately. My opinion is "anybody but Bush", and you won't convince me otherwise. I suspect I won't convince you of my viewpoint, either, so there's no point in fliailing wildly about it...
