I wonder if you got that message because I had already deleted it?

And thanks for the compliment about the writing -- I like to think I'm pretty good but validation never hurts - and it feels good too! :)  I did go ahead and delete the post. I'll just rework it […]

Romney gets 3 points and Obama, well... doesn't. You are a Republican. Everything you say is meant as a conservative message. No Democrat will hire you or […]

As a writer you have 100% control over what you write. But you never have control of how people interpret what you write. And guaranteed, at least 90% of the population […]

knowledge are key to being able to provide the best services possible." You betcha!  I think you handled the "political" thing […]

You know, take politics per se out of it.  That […]

It's when people start taking a nasty, one-sided approach that people get offended. I would also […]
