bogie wheel @120/121/123: I have a lot of thoughts on reading your posts but don’t have time right now (and probably by the time I do, this thread will be done). For now just let me say that my unthinking first impulse was, “Gosh, if the rally can draw someone like bogie wheel, then it MUST be okay!” Don’t want to get all slobbery gushy here, but I do admire you a great deal.

For now suffice it to say that I would feel better about the whole Tea Party movement and its potential for efficacy if the power of no had been used multiple times at any given point during the decades-long march through the institutions, instead of only now, NOW, when our prosperity is threatened (taxed enough already). I believe you addressed that point. More could be said but time is short.
