So you haven't read those suggestions or given any thought to something like them. Thanks for you reasoned answer.

I watched 60 minutes for many years and have listened to the cantankerous rantings of Andy Rooney for many years. He was kind of hard to avoid. These musings of his are rather old.

Well by damn, being old is not good when they are being seen by Obama lovers. Right?

Unfortunately there are a number on here that fit into that mold.It is a shame that they try and tell us the virtues of their leftest politics and their anti religious rants as well as how well educated they are and they don't need these crutches in life and then they open their mouths or in this case their computers and nothing but bile spews out.
