Thank you for posting the link to Pukin Dog's Manifesto---
I just hope he reads this thread, and takes the compliments he reads to heart, and doesn't hesitate to join us again--
Like I said in the first post, before I read the Manifesto--Free Republic desperately needs all of its "rascals"---I became addicted to this site because of posters like Pukin Dog---it won't be the same until he returns---
PD is certainly a rascal. LOL But he's a fine, intelligent and talented man who IMO has a gift for writing.
