You certainly let it all out!! Regarding pesticides----had a personal experience with my dog. Sometime ago, rented a house in Hawaii with a beautiful golf course like lawn. The owner had a special solution which contained arsenic which he used to kill the weeds as they appeared----put down with an eyedropper. Returning to mainland, on way across country the dog's toenails became infected and started coming off. Being in Texas for a little while, took him to a Texas vet who immediately recognize what had happened. The arsenic weed killer was the reason. Dog got treated and survived. This same insecticide was at that time used on produce fields. Hope it has been banned by now. Regarding the senior citizen supporting Gore, fear is one of the things which is used on seniors in many arenas. It is a real shame when politicians of either party must put fear in our elderly population or play upon their already established fears--i.e. the fear of not being able to afford medications and medical care! Looking forward to the next debate. mj
