I am great fan of Thomas Paine. I've tried to adopt many of his ideas on life, society and government in my posts on FR. However, I am disturbed at what he's become when others use his name here. :(

Thanks for the ping, FV.

In honor of Father's Day, I would like to nominate my dad as an honorary FReeper. He was a lurker around here for some time, I introduced him to FR right around the time of the 2000 election, when I found FR myself. My dad died last July, unexpectedly. If he was still around, I know he'd be here posting too. He was a patriotic American, a great dad and a wonderful grandpa to my kids, and we miss him.
