> Still, thanks for your comment. It is nice when adversaries can come to a meeting of the minds on other subjects. **Equipoise** has a truly extraordinary knowledge of and taste in movies and music - especially music - and I’m glad we’ve become friends. She’s become one of my go-to sources when I want to learn something about any musical artist, song or movie. I’m glad we’re on speaking terms. 😃

No worries - and thanks for the thanks. Although we should probably leave the thanking there, “thanks for the thanks for the thanks” and suchlike will just make everyone hate both of us equally 😉

Is this dance still going? 😉

Maybe you guys could dance on the grave of carbon cap-and-trade - it could use a boost right now.🙂

I just wanted to mention, since no one else has:

Conservatives don’t pull the “selfish” card - that’s a move they’ll always lose. They call liberals **traitors** for not wanting to fund some increase in the scope of government (PATRIOT Act, Iraq War, etc). Not that I’m accusing **SA** of this specifically, but it’s a favorite move of the right-wing in general.

And I vote Hawkins over Simone. Anyone choosing CCR needs a slap, and if you prefer Sonique you are dead to me - _dead_, I say.
