**  we may be coming at the same thing
    from two different angles, or with two
    different sets of words, or something
    like that.

    to me, being concerned with the
    well-being of our country is quite
    a different thing than having a
    vested or special interest in seeing
    one set of politicos (call 'em, say,
    the donkies and the pachyderms) get
    into office, have things their own
    narrow way, put their own party
    loyalists on the public payroll,
    run for national office, and so forth.
