Agree, Guru U.  The fact that you and Lulu have very different political viewpoints and both of you can find merit in his thoughts speaks much of his analyses.  In a world where you have blogs both Left and Right screeching semi-hysterically at every little piece of "breaking news" or unsubstantiated rumor, thankfully you have a few still who take the time to digest, reflect then offer up an opinion.  Refreshing!
