The Republican Chairman of a county in Missouri resigned on Monday because of his anti-war views. You can read all the various reports about it at Google News. Ten years ago it is unlikely any of us would have heard about this at all. Now we can not only read many different takes on it but we can read his actual resignation letter. Nice to be alive today. 9:44:42 AM
