You'll find more sympathy than you might think. I usually avoid overt 
political chatter on this list because I am not in the mainstream. My 
blog, however, is rife with some of what you say. As Tim warns us all 
again from time to time, political posts are supposed to be marked 
"PD:". OTOH, good devotional posts don't require any markings, I 
believe.

At any rate, I join the others in welcoming you to the list. Please, do 
stay and give us a chance to make you more comfortable.
