I don't feel this caused a division. I'm not upset with anyone here who 
posted their remarks about this event. This is America. We are allowed 
to have differences of opinion.

Now if someone pulls out a gun and says that either of us doesn't have 
the right to our opinion, that would be terrible but to have a 
discussion is good.

Ed Bride expressed an opinion that differed from mine but that doesn't 
bother me. I'm looking forward to having Ed on my show again in October 
even though we disagree on this issue. This is America. We have the 
right to disagree.
