Ok, I put you down with a "yes" for allowing Tony Kania to come back.

I believe in being honest, having said that, there are certain people that I will not miss their influence or power being gone, that doesn't mean I'm wishing death upon them. I simply hope they lose their ability to change America to their idea of what it should be. Socialism has repeatedly failed, why would we ignore history just to repeat it?

An open mind could easily draw that conclusion.

Not a chance.

Let's just say that Kania was trending in the wrong direction.

One would have to presume that the aforementioned thoughts were only applicable after death.........

If your mind is too open, your brain might fall out.

I try to avoid schadenfreude because, as Yoda said, it leads down a path to 'the dark side'. That said, there were a few people whose deaths I hopefully anticipated. One of them was Saddam Hussein. Another was Osama bin Laden. In order for me to look forward to your demise, you would have to be a truly evil person. My disdain is not given lightly.

Those I might not miss easily fall into that category IMHO. It's all about perspective ya know.

A pendulum swings both ways and only stops in the center when it's out of energy. I see a train load of energy on both sides of the aisle.
Ironically, one side normally energizes the other.

Hey Ron, I wasn't trying to single you out. My apologies if it appeared that way.
