hogmeister, you go on and say your piece(s). i made a decision to stay out of political threads and take a break from them for personal reasons. it was taking too much time and energy that i needed to put into other things. the negativity (in general, no specifics here) was also getting to me.

that doesn't mean i want folks to shut up (that's bill o'reilly's tactic) 😉 -- just means it was time for me to take personal responsibility for what i was ingesting, so i chose to take a break. it's not like there's a space limit here -- plenty of room for EVERYONE to speak out about whatever they want.

for awhile i was doing a lot of thread starting of my own, basically counterpoint facts, but man that just gets nowhere. folks will believe what they want to believe, and i'm cool with that.

politics-wise now all i have to say is try to get ALL the facts, register to vote and then go do it, and vote for whichever candidate suits you.

as for hog, russ is a bro, no matter where we stand on the political spectrum, and he's welcome in my home any time.
