I don't want Dave's apologies. They may be numerous, but
they aren't sincere, and their sincerity seems to decrease with each
repetition.

Although I'm guilty as hell on the OT Politics charge, I've made every
attempt to avoid discussing specific people or personalities. I'm not an
insult kind of guy, and for the most part, my friends don't need my
character reference. I'm gonna break my own rule here.

It is clear to me that Dave & I disagree on what's wrong with this country
and what to do about it. It's also clear to me that both of our opinions
are based on a love of what we individually perceive to be what's right
about it. I've met Dave on more than one occasion, fished with him, dined
with him, and talked with him. I've left my children alone with him, which
is more than I'd allow for most of the reprobates here. Among the things
about which I have little doubt is Dave's character and sincerity.
