BB, you are very kind!

BB, I appreciated your kind words. TY. My only response is that when, ''Billary'' was heading our country, we were in the black, not in the red. Our children weren't sent...never mind. I learned from a very young age to nod my head @ ''listen'' to an opposing view; to allow them to feel that their opinion was the right one. ''Bite your tongue when you know that you are right'', is what I was told. I choose to do that with you.
I didn't say I supported, ''Billary''.
I said that a democrat needs to take over. Make a choice, any choice on the democratic ticket! The Republicans have had their chance to destroy the American way of life. Boy, oh boy, did they do their jobs!

I envy the compassion and restraint you show towards bigbrother. I personally loathe the loudmouth lout and will take every opportunity to engage him for what he is. A fraudulent liar.

My hat is off to you tlou. I couldn't agree with you more that it is time for a change in this country whether it be Hillary or any of the other Democratic field.

There is NO WAY to have a rational discussion with a person that is irrational. I have better things to do. Best to smile politely, nod your head & head for the nearest exit as fast as you can. They will eventually be exposed as the person that they are.
Irrational people will hang themselves, given enough rope.
TY VERY MUCH for your kind words & support. I don't know enough about BB's opinions yet to... I wasn't brought up to ''look @ the world in a negative way, or to tear another person down because of their opinions''. I was taught to respect & appreciate other's opinions, even if I disagreed with them. I haven't always lived it, Dear God, I haven't! I regret some of them. You & other's may have a very valid reason to dislike him. BB has goaded me, but never been disrepectful to me. I appreciate that & will offer him that same respect. I hope we can agree to disagree.
There have been some posts I made that I wish I could change. I spoke from my heart. I hope we can all TRY not to go for the jugular when we disagree. Does that make sense? I'd like to think that everyone has a right to their dignity, as long as they are ''attempting'' to be respectful.

you're more than welcome. You have no need to apologize for any of your posts. Certainly you may wish you could take them back but don't feel it necessary to apologize. I've never found any rancor in your posts and I would generally catagorize you as a very level-headed individual.

I do hope that bigbrother will treat you with respect and dignity but alas I must admit I know that he will prove a failure in doing so. Keep you chin up tlou. I find you to be a decent person with a warm heart and your opinions are just as viable and welcome here as anyone elses.

Take care. I look forward to reading more of your posts.
