					<description><![CDATA[Hey Ray, Excellent article, both content and writing. I agree with Stephan in that he seems very involved in causes of his interest and also willing to connect with others with a different point of view. The only way to fix these things is to get together and talk about it. Even if you have the power to ram something down an opponent&#039;s throat, they&#039;re likely to come back and reverse the outcome another day. So then you&#039;ve got 2 rammed throats and no solution. Thanks for sharing this, Ray. I&#039;m working on taking my own advice. Bill]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Thank you for this. Here in San Marcos, Tx, a city of about 60,000, we had 1200+ people come out on Saturday for No Kings Day. Most folks who drove by the town square where we were marching honked in support. It was glorious. Many I talked to were impressed by the diversity of the crowd. This breaking of the bubble is happening. It’s slow, but I’m beginning to see the signs. As you note here, it HAS to happen.]]></description>
