    Hello AJ Calhoun!!!

    Thanks for your great response to my inquiry. Im sorry I dont have time right now to respond as thoroughly as you did, but I wanted to let you know that I read it, and really appreciated your candor. While I would never refer to myself as a conservative,even with the word used as accurately as you have, I found your views mirror my growing discomfort with this consumer driven society and the way I operate within it. Yet another example of how we all have to move beyond labels used to divide us. Also, your response helped me to understand your first letter much better;It was deserving of editors choice! (It wasnt that condescending, I think I was tired and cranky:~)I aspire to articulate my worldview so eloquently as I mature.

    Good luck to you as you deal with your health challenges. I look forward to reading your future letters.
