OK, we have about 5 debates going on about the presidential elections, and two things are really coming out of it all:

One: We have some sharp divisions in this group as far as opinions go.

Two: On November 4th, either McCain or Obama will be elected president.

My question: With the various viewpoints, what will we do.

To those on the right (middle right, far right, etc) - what will you do if Barack Obama becomes president?

To those on the left (middle left, far left, etc) - what will you do if John McCain becomes president?

To all: What can we do to gain some unity in our country.

Note that, no matter what, there will be politicians, judges, reporters, bloggers, etc., who will make waves long after the election (saying this, people are still ranting about the 2000 elections).

But it is up to the individuals at the grass roots to make unity. So the question: How can we get there?

I'd like to buy the world a coke...

mudslide, but it'll have to wait until after February when i deliver...

Is that why no sodas or fizzies? I thought it was the burping. Haven't had "that talk" with the doc's office yet.

Some surgeons believe the carbonation can stretch the pouch. Some say carbonation in moderation is fine.

When I was in the hospital for chest pains and they were ruling out my heart and finally decided it was my esophagus and reflux etc... the doctor on call there told me NO SODAS. I guess it's a major upsetter in the reflux department and of course that can cause ulcers etc... I decided to have one of those little half cans of diet root beer because they're so good this was the other day and all of the sudden the reflux pains came back again so I know now it's true. But like with everything in lapland it can be very individual.

everyone I'd doing a great job at staying positive and ignoring negativity. I'm paying attention. So, I'll drink to that! With a glass of plum wine and tiger crunch sushi...

I meant everyone IS doing a great job...

Hmmm..... Plum wine sounds interesting. I've never had it.

Actually, seeing LJM can't have it until February, I will take her mudslide.
