This guy and I have fun.  He and I will be voting for different people this election, and we disagree on whether or not we can control the weather.  But neither one of us thinks the other is an idiot and there's no animosity there.  Good people are good people, even if they disagree.

As for my conservative idea of rugged individualism and self-reliance, I've said before that people like you are great examples of what can be done.  When Damon's grid power goes out, he probably doesn't feel like a helpless jackass the way most of us do.    :-)
