I'm surprised that even passed 1'st Ammendment muster. (No, let's not go 
there.)

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. :)
