@kdfrawg Tracing back how we got to this point, the "Reagan Revolution" was a significant turning point. I regret contributing to that. The other major cause IMO is the development of an overtly partisan press, which I do not feel responsible for.

My part was voting for Reagan in 1984. So much regret.

@kdfrawg Haven't been to Andersen's in a while. We get up to Buellton occasionally, but usually go to Mother Hubbard's instead. It's a small place across the street from Andersen's where the locals go. Andersen's has become primarily a tourist place, unfortunately.

Looks like a bowl of split pea soup to me.

Let me know when you have your bar mitzvah. :-)

Do you want to spend extra time in Israel?

This is how democracy dies.
