So I was thinking that not all my friends share my political beliefs and neither does my DH who I dearly love. I discuss this with other like minded individuals. I was thinking about how much I like and admire people like IL , Alan and others if we stay off of certain topics. I was also thinking that if we could all meet at a barbecue what a good time we would have. So to my simple living friends if we disagree on certain topics it doesn’t mean I think you are not good people. You have as much of a right to a stong opinion as I do. I really enjoy this forum even if I get intense at times. We are all good people and I really enjoy the community.
