 This is a good post! However, "there ain't a @#@#thing we can do about it". I'm a VERY PATRIOTIC AMERICAN, Vietnam Veteran and all that, however, I feel that this country is down the tubes. Only problem is: Where should we go?? Other countries have the same troubles, and many more. I always vote LIBERTERIAN PARTY for any candidates that they are fielding in my voting precinct. For local candidates, it's a matter of who you know. (I still live in a rural area) Voting is essential for a participatory democracy, but I'll fight to the death against any effort to make it mandatory! Yep, this ol' country ain't what it used to be, and it's gonna get worse. What's an old country boy to do?? Can't get too radical against the #@!^% assholes, because they are ,more powerfull than me! They have guns, and are empowered to use them, while if I use mine to defend myself and my way of life against them, I'll be in Serious Trouble!! This has come up here before, and will come up in the future, because it is not a solvable problem! If anyone can find a better country to go to, please let me know. Yep, I tend to gravitate toward the Philippines, (planning to go there before Christmas, and come back when the grass starts to get outta hand) but, as far as living there year-round, it's impossible. Think our politicians are bad..heck their president is in Jail! Everybody over there has their hand out. It is the acccepted way of doing business over there. (that's one of the reasons we don't have better business relations with them, our anti-bribery laws give the edge to others with out them.) Yep,just looked at the CDO forecast..right now, it's 91degrees. Here it's barely above freezing, and they had frost in Montross. I'm listening to the Stained Grass Bluegrass program on WAMU. It's a Sunday morning tradition with me. You can listen to it one the net if you are into Bluegrass Gospel Music. Used to be more Bluegrass on the sation,, one of my favourite programs was from 3-6 pm everyday, major Bluegrass. However, the Yuppies stopped that, and put Boring Public Affairs Programs in the place of the nice bluegrass! Just like all the rest of the Public Stations! Please pardon my rant. But it sure feels good!! ;-) And please vote, if you have the stomach!!
