Terry:

I kind of dropped out of this thread but I see that a copy of your note went to me about this thread being an example of evolution.

That would be a valid comment if you believe that evolution has stopped.

The reason I stopped participating in this political thread is that I found that the people who had a certain view at the beginning of the thread have pretty much the same view at the end of the thread. I include myself in this.

Maybe we are wiser, but there is not evolution that I can discern.
