Hi there, Sabine,

I'm going to offer you the benefit of the doubt since I'm hoping that you didn't mean to imply that I was a dim bulb with your emoticon.

I'm open to hearing your intent on that. Thank you.

And, just so we are clear, I know there are all types in all parties, but the party I choose to follow doesn't make blatantly racist and homophobic remarks in their ad hominem attacks. Nor do they threaten an elected official with murder.

Of course, I'm sure you know that about the Tea Party, right?

By the way, I'm fond of the Longfellow quote "Though the mills of God grind slowly, yet they grind exceeding small; Though with patience he stands waiting, with exactness grinds he all." as well.

Now then, about that dim bulb remark? I'm all ears.
