Dennis, Neko, et al.

My initial post was directly to John the author of the article, in response to his apparent question as to why people voted the way they did.  That's all it was, and all it was intended to be.

This will be the last post on this topic from me, and quite possible, my last at NCR.  I understand that democrats are upset that they lost.  I would suggest that roughly half the population will be upset in any election cycle, by the nature of elections, as there will be a winner and a loser. What bothers me, is the vitriol that I'm seeing this time around (from both sides).  

So I wish you all well, especially in your spiritual journeys.  I hope folks here can find ways to honestly reconcile the kinds of attacks I've seen and continue to see here, with those spiritual journeys.  

As for me, I'll continue to look for a place where people can talk, can agree to disagree, and can seek to find respectful ways to reach common ground.  

Adieu.
