Perhaps. I just find it in extremely poor taste. Criticising an
Administration is one thing. Suggesting it's overthrow by sedition (pun or not) is just
uncool. IMHO. YMMV.
I do find it fascinating just how many hot buttons this topic has pushed.
It's been very enlightening. All I wanted to do was express an opinion (like
belly buttons, we all have one) and discuss it. As a result, some have accused me
of narrow-mindedness and questioned my Professional competence. That, in
itself, is quite enlightening and revealing of those persons.
*We all have opinions* and they are all different.
BTW, thanks for the laugh, Chuck. :)
