A couple of years ago I stumbled upon the HBO website and then onto the Deadwood board. It was my first excursion into the world of bbs. I have met some fine human beings here. They are people I am honored to call friends. I have learned more about politics here than I've ever learned anywhere else. People from all over the country come together on this board and if not for DW, I never would have gotten to know them. I have come to realize that we Americans are all alike in what we want from life, no matter which political party we identify with. We want peace. We want a government free from corruption. We want an administration committed to upholding the Constitution of the United States. Hooples are by definition a little bit smarter and a little bit quirkier than your average citizen. Everyone doesn't get us. But, here at least, for a while, I felt at home. It's been real.
