I became aquainted with F.R. in early Sept. 2000 from a political chatroom aquaintance. I lurked for 2 months and then after a couple of months couldn't resist jumping into the fray! This place is an endless resource and a wonderful place to find intelligent people who know how to think for themselves. In the years I've been here I have found Freepers to be kind, generous and dedicated people. It's been pleasure to be here and get to know many of you.
