@nj gal:

Have you been reading this thread? Read the last three pages of posts, particularly the ten paragraph rants about Tony Rezko and Bill Ayers. Not much to respect there. Or maybe you consider Debalee's rant about Obama being, and I quote, "the nexus of terrorism" to be a point of view worthy of respect? And this is going to come as an enormous shock to you, but I was being *sarcastic* when I called this thread a socratic dialogue.
