There are too many insightful and thoughtful points in your comment for a single upvote to repay, so I must thank you with a reply. Becoming so demoralized with the present media and political landscape, it is comforting to find that there still remain semblances of reason for which I may again briefly restore some measure of sanity. Thank you.

Thank you for reading all of that. I read a lot and tend to be long-winded when I write and I know that a lot of people's attention spans are pretty short. I'm glad you found something of value in the words. That was my hope.

You're welcome.
