    I have to say that this misunderstanding you're dealing with is an example of what I meant yesterday when I said that these boards disturb me sometimes. I realize the medium has limitations (and that many are here just to vent, pass the time, or pick a fight), but if those of us who disagree can't discuss things calmly, how on earth can we carry the Democratic message into and throughout the general election?

    Dewey said that one of the vital habits of democracy was to "grasp the point of view of another." So, my friend, carry on and godspeed.
