DS,

You and I have had pretty good debates over time, and I don't really know much about Ted Nugent and do not care to do the research to find out otherwise, but I think you are slightly out of line on a couple of things.

Fist off, nobody needs to leave the board over this. At least I don't think so.

Secondly, you will find that alcoholism is not illegal in most of the nation, and I would be guessing about Utah if I said it was legal, but I do think I remember my brothers drinking out there. Personally, I think the stuff should be illegal and I believe it causes a bunch of trouble. I have sat in court on several days where almost all the criminal stuff was related to drinking.

Now, I believe alcoholism is actually designated as a disease. Last I checked, adultery and perjury were both illegal and neither were a disease. Being an alcoholic does not mean you are a liar and I would much rather deal with a person that has a drinking problem than somebody that has a lying problem. I have a client that has both problems, and I can deal with his alcohol issues a lot easier than I can with his lying issues.

Now, drinking and driving is illegal, and I will not tolerate that.

Now you see why my head hurts whenever you say that Clinton is a great guy. I cannot stand him and I hate the people out there that love him because they were doing well financially while he was in office. In essence, people are willing to follow a liar and cheater so long as they are making money. What does that say about their morals, and they do not even understand that the economy at that time might not have been a result of Clinton.

As far as Jane Fonda is concerned, she made a stupid mistake and it cost her. I'm not going to be sheding any tears for her because it really didn't cost her too much. She is rich and she has probably had a better life than any of us will have, but that would assumption would only be based upon money being able to buy happiness. Tim Leatherman made a dumb mistake when he backed Kerry. He received a ton of e-mail from people like me and he took a position that he can support any candidate that he wants and that it was his money and his business he was putting on the line. Well, a couple of months after the election he sent out an e-mail asking that we not punish his employees by not buying his products since they had nothing to do with his political affiliation. Simply put, the ballot is a secret thing, so don't go spouting off at the mouth if you might live to regret it. As a business man he should have known better than to take such an outspoken position on politics.

Like they say, don't bring up politics or religion during an interview.

I could go on all night with this subject and this thread, but I am going to call it quits for the night.
