I have been going there frequently since I have been training my furry buddy in dog agility; the TN agility clubs put on terrific trials. I do enjoy going there and it is beautiful and friendly. I noticed some of their political commercials sounded like an advertisement for a theocratic police state though. I live in Kentucky and one add I saw made Mitch McConnel's campaign look mild. But I live in one of the most liberal parts of my home state, Lexington.

It has occurred to me that a pleasant RW state may be able to bridge this nasty, social gap we have in this country. I have some Democratic bumper stickers co-existing with my Border Collie stickers. I haven't had the first issue yet. At the hotel in Murfreesboro a couple of weeks ago I saw a car with dog agility stickers along wth hateful RE stickers; I complemented one of her runs the same day.

I really want the hate to end; we really aren't that foreign in daily life to people on the right, I can only hope one day we can build our country back on our similarities as American people rather than politics.
