I admit that I've been quiet lately here. Partly this is due to an agreement I made with myself that I wouldn't make any major waves until President Obama had a fair two years...something I'm finding myself difficult to continue doing. Also, I've been unemployed since January, a casualty of the failing economy, and it's surprising how much more I wind up doing when I'm not working.

It seems, however, that whenever I start to think about opting out of disturbing the parasitically comfortable, that someone shows me a surprising bit of appreciation...and that means a lot.

Thank you, and I look forward to being a more active part of this community again. :fistbump:
