If it had been a presentation by Glenn Beck, I suspect that it would have been a noisy, not polite, room. I just wish I hadn't learned more about the lady writer than I really wanted to know. It will be somewhat harder to read her in the future and keep an open mind about her.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-70431096394603009062009-11-04T12:36:55.115-06:002009-11-04T12:36:55.115-06:00I'm sorry about the name-calling you had to en...I'm sorry about the name-calling you had to endure; I would probably have left also.

That's what happened at a townhall meeting I attended a few months ago when a rather strident state legislator was telling us that we didn't KNOW what they had BEEN THROUGH to write the budget and the CHALLENGES they FACED in RAISING OUR TAXES.
