It is an open forum for all discussions...thus referred to as 'The Sandbox'.
Happy New Year!!!
I want to thank all of my family here for participating in an awesome year of discussions. Ok. I also thank the petty squabbles. It's the people here who bring life and character to the site. The variety of opinions and the diverse backgrounds and experiences of the people who post here.
I want to give a big thank you to the people who donate to the site. It does help. There are a few background ongoing expenses, and any donations stay in an account for the site. Every other year it has its biggest expense. That comes up this April.
And a special thanks to those who made my vacation possible. It was an awesome, tearful push. 23 days of travel that let's a person know just what America is about to us and to others. That was one of the most amazing aspects of our trip. Going to the countless National Parks and seeing the amazement in the eyes of the people from other countries. From Oriental, German, Dutch, Australian, Islamic, etc.. They were all starry-eyed and dazed with wonderment at the grandeur of America.
So begins a new year. Let's make it a great year. Let's spread truth and put out some great information. We should try to keep the petty squabbles down a little bit. We shouldn't tone down the ideological squabbles though. They were fine and add to the site. You have to hear from both sides. How can you point out how insane one side is without it represented, whether by someone who believes or a devils advocate.
Again, Thanks and have a happy and safe New Year Celebration. From the biggest balloon drop in Tulsa...TB...
