Politics/Religion always sensitive subjects. It's odd how many of us have flipped political parties (none at all/independent/Dem/Rep/whatever) so we're obviously capable of hearing others. Seems religion isn't such a hot button as decades ago but possibly because it's tabu to discuss in public -- much like politics.
It's good to have a board like this where we've freedom to sound off and just have to learn to take constructive criticism from others - not easy, but good. I'd love to hear views re/why others prefer this/that the other rather than endorsements of candidates (which are good, also). How can anyone trust government to do anything right - I think that's the concern of many. Freedom and independence is a beautiful thing once we make the great escape from authoritarian parent(s) and cults and religions if controlling.
