Passions and opinions are definitely running high. If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

I’ve stated my beliefs once and that’s good enough for me.

People want to talk about this election, so I’m more than happy to provide a forum to do so. How you behave, is up to you. I think keeping it to one thread makes it easy for those who want to participate, as well as for those who want to ignore it.

Once the election is over -– and everyone gets in their final words on the outcome –- I’ll shut this thread down.

Then, unless it specifically involves fishing or something really newsworthy, political threads will be rare.
