I am sorry I haven't responded to folks' comments. I read them all and I'm very glad that very smart, thoughtful people take the time to read what I write and respond to it -- except for the occasional right-winger who pops up. I tend to think folks' responses speak for themselves without a need for a response from me. But I do learn from what others write. For instance I went on Fox to argue about Detroit and about workers' pensions being inviolate and I was better prepared because of what I learned from the responses to my diary. I will respond from now on as much as time allows. Thanks for reading my diaries. I will be engaging more on Daily Kos going forward.
