What has happened to John Wheeler?

I agree, Laurie.

Before this gets locked, I'd just like to say that my post was intended to remind us all to check sources and facts before assuming the worst. Rumors and innuendos abound to bolster one agenda or another; check it out before getting too worked up. We need clear heads these days.

That is how I read your posting Pen.... it's the bashing of our government that I'm not excited to see on this site.

We come here to create friendship, share burdens, offer encouragement and process our extended family issues. Along the way we have fun with diets, daily trivia, romance (guilty) and silliness. We offer URLs, recommend books and share poetry. Actually, we digress a lot and that feels comfortable to me. That said, I honestly think there are other sites better suited to political admonitions and views. The same is true of specific religious preferences. We do touch on the third sensitive topic, sex...but we're pretty careful to keep it light and not go there often. Works for me. I will take Laurie's suggesting and close this. I hope you all understand. I'm aiming, whenever possible for the middle of the road.
