We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.
I often have a nice Medoc with a big mac and fries. I do it here in Canada and I did it in Paris. In Florence I drank a Montepulciano that cost me $5 in a grocery store for a bottle and would have cost me $30 Canadian.
So, go easy please, Mickey gets on fine with wine enthusiasts.
