What you ran into, Jamie, was Minnesota nice. In reality that extends across the Midwest. According to my sensibilities, some of the best comments to your articles have been written by Midwesterners just being themselves, as was your recent companion. Once upon a time we would not have discussed politics with folks we didn't know. Kudos to the younger generation for disposing of some of the old ways.

Kudos to you for another insightful article.
