Oh Gawd, that's too funny. And so true. I don't know where the majority is, it certainly isn't here on SI, proud home of "My gun, right or wrong" types.

Hi, Poet et al! I'll be over here for sure ... Great idea and love the name. Ylang: I have the misfortune to live in TX <g> (I say only from perspective that the dubya/family owns it) and I can't express my contempt for the man, and his father, and his pathetic "bought" little life. To think that this jerk is going to be president of this country is almost out of the realm of my perception of reality. I just cannot believe it. Ya know, I've always felt that my generation (boomers) would suck out loud as 'responsible adults.' LOL! I don't think we are reponsible in the least -- what do you think? (Are you a boomer?) I've always despised 'responsibility.' <g> I made a good go at handling it (career, etc) ... but I hate it. Sorry -- "Just Porchin'" -- between trying to figure out what to do -- sit tight; buy; sell; short; buy futures; pull out of market altogether -- that's the way I've felt every single day for a good, solid three months. Anybody else identify with that? Best to all, 'b-i-a' ###

Where are those who voted for Gore? I did - but very reluctantly; I really wanted to vote for Nader. But the thought of Bush becoming president was more than I could handle. It is amazing that every few years, we as a nation go through this desire to have a moron for a leader. I always thought that Reagan being elected was an aberration - guess I was wrong. Just to show that we liberals have a sense of humor and can laugh at ourselves: geocities.com bwana

I couldn't have said it better, YYB I think Gore is CLASSY. I've never liked his wife, though, because of her nonsensical stands against rock-and-roll music. She's a trivial fruitcake. JMVHO. Gore has moved into the international theatre (i.e. Bosnia) in a dignified, statesmanlike way. I'm not sure that prison stock, BUSH, even knows where Bosnia is on the map. On thing I know for sure is that Reagan never knew where it was located. Ford didn't think Poland was a Communist country. Reagan thought that Communist countries existed somewhere down in the myths of Hades. Now we might get that lousy prison stock to run this country. Ranting on my new porch. It's a beautiful thing. /john
