Glad to know I could open your mind.

Too bad, you could learn a few things.

What kind of drivvel is that?  And don't put words in my mouth!  You are the
one drawing conclusions from my statement.  How dare you think you can even
guess at what my intentions were with the first post.  And as for the
economy...  I'm a small businessman buddy.  I don't enjoy a nice job in a
corp. that borrows money to pay me if they don't get paid.  I noticed a
distince drop in sales leads, and longer times to close, as well as people
giving themselves > 30 day terms without asking, during this media hype.  If
the economy was so good, then why couldn't I do more than barely stay alive?

And before you go on another personal attack,  I will not that business has
picked up significantly since the election.  I make no claim as to what caused
it, but my bets are not on any of the candidates elected, but rather on it just
being over, and people returning to life.  

And another thing.  This thing about past elections to the last time a Democrat
LOST an election is more drivvel.  If they had left their signs up I would have
posted my letter.  I will also state again that the Bush/Quayle people had ten
people and over 50 signs at Duke St. & Quaker Ln. the day before the election.
The day after the 25 or so Clinton signs were gone, and the Bush Quayle signs
were still up.  No political statement.  No reteric.  Just my observation.  If
you can't live to hear other people's idea and observations without attacking
their person (of which you personally know nothing) then I suggest you
reevaluate living in a Democratic Republic with your analytical mind.

These are my words.  I send them to you with love.
