<I am trying as best as possible to suppress my gag reflex every time I try to accept the notion of "Speaker Gephardt". My conservative friends still don't understand that the cultural war was lost > Although I have often considered myself a democrat, at least on 'non-fiscal' issues, IMO Gephardt couldn't hold a candle to Newt... who I consider to have truly shaken things up for the better. I find it hard to believe that after all that has happened there are still Gephardt type democrats left, unfortunate. DAK

I'm just trying to figure out a way to profit from the coming state of affairs. Any thoughts? The makers of luxury goods: TIF, GUC, LHMVY, etc. SHINE, PERISHING REPUBLIC While this America settles in the mould of its vulgarity, heavily thickening to empire, And protest, only a bubble in the molten mass, pops and sighs out, and the mass hardens, I sadly smiling remember that the flower fades to make fruit, the fruit rots to make earth, Out of the mother; and through the spring exultances, ripeness and decadence; and home to the mother. You making haste on decay; not blameworthy; life is good, be it stubbornly long or suddenly A mortal splendor; meteors are not needed less than mountains; shine, perishing republic. But for my children, I would have them keep their distance from the thickening center; corruption Never has been compulsory, when the cities lie at the monster's feet there are left the mountains. And boys, be in nothing so moderate as in love of man, a clever servant, insufferable master. There is a trap that catches noblest spirits, that caught --they say--God, when he walked the earth. (Robinson Jeffers, from Roan Stallion and Other Poems)
