In spite of your love of all things grey, welcome! It is always good to have a new member sign up for the ongoing debating battle and always good to hear from a different point of view. You will like it here as the people are friendly and most interesting. Hope you like to mix it up a bit, as the folks here also have passion when presenting their views. So pick a thread and subject and jump right in. Glad your here.
Sincerely,
Unionblue from Ohio

Welcome aboard, I an unapologetic Union Man, w/ a healthy respect for Forrest & an awe of Cleburne. What can I say, fighting men deserve respect.
