I, at least, have kept my own promise. I have avoided reading any of Eric's political posts in a long time. My blood pressure is grateful, too.

It's a man of honor who keeps his word. Even if it's a politician.

"I'm also honored to be here with the speaker of the House—just happens to be from the state of Illinois. I'd like to describe the speaker as a trustworthy man. He's the kind of fellow who says when he gives you his word he means it. Sometimes that doesn't happen all the time in the political process."—Chicago, March 6, 2001 (Thanks to Gary Belkin.)

If the mods do not want me to post in political threads, then all it will take is a brief PM from one of them stating that and I will stop ASAP. But until that time, I will assume it is fine with them. I will also continue to debate the ideas and not attack the person.
