An answer
...but it may not be the answer you're looking for.

The simple fact is, I don't care to share my political views with anyone on a technical web site. This isn't the forum to be discussing such issues. From time to time, I have been seduced into getting involved in political discussions, but I am trying to minimize those. And if you look back at my past posts, you will find that I have NEVER made any claims on one side or the other of any political issue. I have questioned those making such claims, however, and perhaps it's the questioning that has led people to think I disagree with them. Some people seem to take questioning as disagreement.

If I only seem to question those opposed to the Bush administration and those who see conspiracy under every rock, it's probably because those are predominantly the ones who post such inappropriate political discussions in these talkbacks. Those posting the equivalent drivel but from the opposite viewpoint are fewer and less offensive, so I tend to let them slide by (as I let slide by most of the drivel posted here, whatever the viewpoint). My life is too short to spend it in pointless, juvenile name-calling.

Think what you will about my personal political beliefs, as in the end it doesn't matter one bit.
