I saw Jane on TV the other night (I think she has a new book out). She said that the one thing she regretted most in her life was the trip to Hanoi. The other was the 3-ways she engaged in with her first husband and hookers.
Back to the thread topic: I think most people aren't so far to the left or right as they come across in these forums. I bet if we were all sitting around having a discussion over a few beers that we would find much in common. Sometimes after I've written a reply, after reading it later I realize that I came out stronger than I really feel. Also sometimes when I've softened from a somewhat hard position based on others input I have neglected to say so in a timely fashion.
