Onboard for just a few days now. Find this forum an active and most interesting experience so far. The best part is the demographic mix and the lively debate. Hope this forum attracts a representative cross-section of America and interested parties abroad. Find it neat that people outside the USA borders share their opinions here too. Always thought of America as a place of shared values, ideas, backgrounds and nationalities-our strength when not used as a weapon to divide us. My hope for our Republic's present and future citizens is that this American political experiment continues entrenched and encompassed by the principles and liberty documented in our Declaration of Independence and Federal Constitution. If so places like this will serve a free people for as long as it holds their interest Kind regards, Dix Nickson
