Welcome to the Musings

Doris started a thread of Meinhard political conversation with the following note:

Hi- I figure this is my best and maybe last chance to vote for a qualified woman for President. Please join me and vote for Hillary Clinton! Her record demonstrates an ability to work across the aisle and to work with a diverse group of people building coalitions that solve problems. Her record exemplifies excellent long time work for raising the status of women not just nationally but also globally, and she has the intelligence and background to meet the complex challenges of international politics, peace making in the face of war, inner city poverty, etc. I am excited about this opportunity and I will not pass it up. She gets my vote! Doris

Of course, Dick had to take the bait and run with it:

I'd be glad to consider it if you could tell me exactly how being a women has anything whatever to do with being qualified to be president of the US. Dick

This set off a firestorm of responses. Donna (the "oldest of the preelectronic generation" suggested a blog format so people could figure out what was happening. Having seen Shari's uncle Gary post some very thoughtful and relevant musings on his blog (http://commonsense-gater.blogspot.com/), I thought I would try to set one up. So here goes.

This being my first attempt at this medium, I'm not sure how things work. If something seems wrong, let me know and I'll see if I can fix it. The idea is for you to post responses, so please try. If it doesn't work, I'll look at the settings.

My next post will try to summarize the thread of responses that Dick and Doris started.

Enjoy!
