Remember him? Remember his campaign? Absolutely, I agree... You have actually and unwittingly made my very point, but you're way too up-tight to realize it.....<g>You seem to think that these are things people really want if they are just offered the opportunity to have the federal government provide them. Who me? I don't think so...<g> Slow down and read my post again, this time try to grasp my point..... again I agree with you, I think government hand-outs to the life long lazy is incredibly wasteful, I work hard for my money and I'd like to keep it, I think the liberal politics of the past is a failed experiment, I agree with you, therefore it is not I to whom your angry comments need apply.....Don't underestimate us. We're not that stupid. We can see the consequences. 'Us?' "We?' My goodness, paranoia runs rampant..... You have no need here for a short fuse or to take a defensive 'us vs. them' posture with me, or with anyone for that matter, no one is going to bite you...<g> just try to recall that there were more than two political candidates running for office in that race... I'm glad Gore lost, I posted an observation of Gore's demise, it was clearly and certainly no lament, so chill a bit and enjoy the Holidays.....<g> Best Regards, GZ
