"I haven't seen your comment on McCain hearing "TERRORIST" yelled at him and continuing along his speech with only enough of a wince to acknowledge that he heard it, he said nor did nothing about it. I do believe you challenged me to provide some evidence of this yesterday if I am not confusing you with someone else. The video is below."

Answer: The issue was about "kill em", not "terrorist"

"And last Mondays blockbuster story about Obama being born in Kenya has yet to take the world by storm."

Answer: I did not respond since you attributed a comment to me that I did not make. I said "I heard that...", not that it would be.

"So lets talk peace and love and not discuss our previous bloviating, I understand completely."

Answer: I am very pleased to hear that and am in agreement!

"Please don't get me wrong Ray, I am very pleased to hear you're going positive and perhaps will be doing a lot less posting here. Someone posted earlier about a GOP strategy to play rough and then suddenly attempt to turn around their image, you seem to be ahead of the GOP game Ray...."

Answer: Actually, there is no tactic. I ahve chosen to remove the power to push me to the negative that you and others were previously granted. The arguing and behavior around here has been absolutely disgusting. I have no intention on posting any less that I have.

You are free to believe any conspiracy that you choose to beleive. The fact of the matter is that the problems that have occurred here and to a much lesser degree at n.com have primarily revolved around the elections. Lola was a good friend to me this week saying the hard thing I needed to hear. Justification can be used as excuse and I ahve allowed some of you to cause me to devolve instead of evolve.

Another friend, Tammy, gave me some good advice. And others have to albeit privately. As I ratcheted down this week and resisted you and other's negativity more and more, I have felt much better and today I feel fantastic. Last night watching 20/20 was exactly what I needed to hear after saying it all along. The government is not a solution. The solution is in us...We the People.

Pirate invited me to his party and I had to decline because I did not want to go over there and get into the ugly discussions that occur here. What a terrible shame that I felt the need to decline one's kindness.

We the people have been pitted against each other by a government that does not work in our interests. I prefer to be an agent of change and not expect the government to do anything for me. As such, I have decided to run with the changes that hve been happening within me this week. I must say, I feel great. I feel liberated. And with that, I bid you goodnight and hope you can feel the same relief and liberation that I do today! Peace.

Peace to you as well...
