In Christian angelology, the Archangel Michael is the greatest of all the Archangels and is honored for defeating Satan in the war in heaven.[4] He is one of the principal angelic warriors, seen as a protector against the dark of night, and the administrator of cosmic intelligence. Michaelmas has also delineated time and seasons for secular purposes as well, particularly in Britain and Ireland as one of the quarter days.

Couldn't find the Mr Rogers movie in NYC anymore, but I did find it available on DVD at Netflix. So good. I read that both Conservatives and Liberals walk away from the film feeling that he was one of them. Speaks to his powers of connecting with all. "EVERYTHING is about love, or the lack of it"

Now prove you didn't.
I agree with those here who say stay off the politics. I listen to you for the music, and just like when I go see Springsteen, as soon as the political rant starts, I leave the room.

Don't worry, they don't agree with my politics, therefore anything and everything about me (except my music tastes) is fair game to ridicule. I expect nothing less from the Party whose motto is Tolerance & Diversity.
