Wilko, I welcomed you to this particular section of this thread. I had
seen some of your post in other sections, and only wanted to say hi,
since I had not previously met you. No offense met or exclusiveness
pretended. Again, Hi and Welcome. That you have been a member of this
paddling community as you say, "for the better part of ten years, and
active participant for about seven years now," I am also glad to know.
We need all the old salts we can get!

Also that you are interested in US politics, I think is great! We need
you to hold the mirror, so that we can see how others see us. I would
just ask that you hold it still! When you get all worked up, your hand
shakes, and it sounds like you have some partisan biases, and liberal
bends! Sort of distorts the view!

Excuse me but how did you decide that Wilko should be unbiased? Has he no
right to an opinion or a to take a particular stance because he's not
American?

Oh, wait, I understand now. His views do not sit well with you, therefore he
should not express them.

Whatever.
