St., I wrote this article in plain talk so as to get people talking. I don't settle for the same old Fox/MSNBC chatter people like to offer. Let's get the ideas out, free from media spin. In the interest of disclosure, I have two degrees in political science---I'm not saying that to brag in the least, but I offer it because I have and do research this stuff.

I do apologize.

As someone who doesn't use my own real name around here (for much the same reason as you), I should have been more sensitive to the possible reasons for the name change. When it seemed to happen 'mid-thread', I thought you were trying to pull something on me, so I continued to refer to you by name.

Once again, I am sorry and I will try to respect your privacy in the future.
