"So Mike can say that I need a keeper. Some days I feel as though I do too. (:>) Those who don't have days when they they maybe that's not a bad idea haven't lived long enough yet. If they are lucky (or unlucky) enough too, they will.." This is so true. There is no other way to describe what it's like for someone who has been active, and I mean from dawn to dusk.. who never had a health problem other than a cold and who did well in academics to find that things just aren't what they once were for her physically and mentally. I will defer often to you gentlemen as I am never quite SURE of the accuracy and veracity of what I say. It is not as though I have always been a political animal. Just in the past 10 years. This is why I respect your breath of knowledge on facts, Laz. What I knew was what I experienced by virtue of having lived through those times ( and we know how biased those times have been depending on who one was associating with at the time) When I was growing up I was a Republican as my family were . So my experiences have differed from time to time. In college in the forties is when I was aware of the Loyalty Oath and of course you know how liberal those college professors are (sic) as that is what we hear. So, my political education started to expand from previously being a WASP from a small town with a banker father to CHANGING into a more of a Democrat..with conservative FISCAL policies...(and I still am on this issue) As you say there were many in the late forties and fifties who thought Russia was getting a raw deal from us as we had been allies throughout the war and the Russian people had suffered more than we had. So, there was a lot of support for them and I was taken to see "Lennigrad" the film that was later banned, which showed how Russian men,women and children rose up against the German Army to defend their city and homeland,fighting in the streets with make shift weapons. They were very brave . They had the burnt earth policy of leaving nothing to the Germans.. burning their land and crops in front of the approaching army. One could not but admire such patriotic people. This all was in college... and so I was very pro Russian at the time. It had nothing to do with Stalin. He was incidental. It was the people of the Country.. Then our government asked us to turn against the Russians because of the communist threat and all of it changed. Anyway, I liked your entire message to me and thank you. It's really encouraging when heavy weights like you,Buschman and JLA offer their opinions that are supportive.
