i know these points are vague and laughable to those who disagree but here it is in a nutshell.

points that are not strictly �feeling� and/or �opinion� can be footnoted and supported by reputable sources and readings. for instance: when i say �success in afghanistan� it�s based on readings and research, not a headline on foxnews that proclaims the elections a success.

where i am wrong, i will regret and change my mind when i see the light. where i am right, there is no joy not even the quietest.... for we are living through a painful chapter in our history, divided and angry over the �right� and �wrong� choices our gov�t has made in response to attacks i believe we did not deserve nor instigate.

take it with a double shot of relativism.

[note: i reserve the right to add and/or delete items as the election approaches]
