Oh so wrong, I told them: I had immense respect for him, and for the office, but I absolutely disagreed that we needed to get into THAT war. <BR/><BR/>I am not sure why the bloggers and travelers you've met are mostly Democratic. I kind of doubt it is an absolute; it may simply be we feel a bit more empowered to speak by the results of this election.<BR/><BR/>But I am so glad to hear that you all are "therapeutic gardeners," too. My mood gets such a boost after I come in from the yard after doing the littlest trifle out there. And of course if I don't get my gardening time, watch out!Elhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14878724196098024140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31401979.post-1163079504944426922006-11-09T08:38:00.000-05:002006-11-09T08:38:00.000-05:00Absolutely, yes!

Maybe they don't travel or write? One of the reasons I look at blogs is to protect myself from the knee-jerk anti-Americanism that many people express in Europe.<BR/>Congratulations on the election result - I don't fully understand the US political system but it can only be to the good.<BR/>Gardening and being outside with birds and bugs is the best switch off time.<BR/>JJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14576982065729973318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31401979.post-1163038687719634362006-11-08T21:18:00.000-05:002006-11-08T21:18:00.000-05:00I garden so I WON'T need therapy.
