[Vision2020] attacking our neighbors

[Matt Decker]

Kathy and all,

I have thought the same things for the 3 weeks that I have been on. It seems 
to me that if someone doesn't agree with the other, then they use sarcasim 
and name calling. Heck not all will agree with each other but come on. There 
are some very good thoughts on this site, however I think its more of a soap 
opera. Good ratings by the way.

I myself can handle the names that you want to throw at a independent 
concervative, however, lets focas on the views.
