David,

It comes down to you say this and I say that...then you counter with this and I counter with that.  We all know the arguments and where they lead and nobody is changing anyone's mind.  At some point it sort of becomes futile.  I suppose the only thing we have to look forward to are the debates.  Let's agree to meet back here then and hopefully we'll have something real to discuss.  We're just wasting each other's time otherwise.

The offer to trade in my vote for some new music is awful tempting.  Man, I'm in a battleground state though and Bush has momentum...I mean, this could come down to just a handful of votes in the end and would it really be worth it to have Kerry as the pres?  Show me the money!  Actually, a Kerry win would help my bottom line at work in the short run as we're being threatened with privatization and Kerry has promised he won't let that happen.  There is a fisure developing here...can you see it?   So, if you're offering new music for votes, I'd love to hear something along the line of, A Rock for the Forgotten or Being Alone Together...they're two of my favorites.

It's good to hear from you again...don't be such a stranger.
