End of the road 06:17am on 18 Oct 2008 In the spirit of our final (last) state of our Union , Hawaii, I can simply offer this tribute....

Aloha.

I have personally enjoyed the third-party critique, including foreign and domestic voices, which have enjoined the conversation to paint who, or who we are not, are as a culture...as a collective.

But the truth be told, as insightful as it has been along the way, the blog has sampled only a fraction of of this great country. In fact, it has been somewhat dominated by those indiginous to this great land.

My hope is that those of you who will never have the first-hand opportunity to enjoin and explore the vastness of that which is the AMERICAN experience take this chance to take a second look regardless of tainted voices that have tarnished the intent - even with the best f intentions.

If nothing else, America is a part of all of you..a breathing , international social science experiment so to say.

We, Great Britain, the United States, and a mind-numbing collection of other countries/ethnicities, share a unique and wonderful connection....

I for one say embrace it all...

It's all good in my book!
Ice queens 6:05pm on 03 Oct 2008 A number of those posting on this story should be ashamed of themselves.

These are two women that reflected on the debate as they saw fit. The are certainly worthy of having their own opinion - even if you don't happen to agree with it!

It's a typical "progressive" response that comes across as "your opinion doesn't count because, well, if you don't agree with me there must be something wrong with you".

Just allow people to have and opine, as they see fit, their own opinions. It's all part of the great marketplace of ideas.

Or has the concept of Free Speech fallen on deaf ears?
