Rather than post other's links or debate, (a stretch to say the least <g> )better yet, insult each other on a continuing basis, I take my own experiences and tie them to the bigger picture. I write my own material usually using just a few quotes sometimes.. And so the reason I brought up Patty Murray. So here is a woman, (barely being able to finish school due to financial problems) and now dealing with diverse problems in a effective way.. And I compared her in my mind to GWB, born with the proverbial spoon that was hardly out of the country prior to his selection. Had failures in his business enterprises, but always bailed out by wealthy cohorts with an agenda. And that is the problem IMO, He has blundered our country into this mess, probably under the impression someone WILL bail him out...I hope for the best but we will see.. Another post I wrote about my personal experiences with the people of Mexico an how they felt about the war.. I was pretty damn close on the mark, evidenced by the Telemundo anchor and other polls on Mexico. I also wrote about taking people up Mt. Rose to show them the beauty of nature in 3-D.. Through their own eyes, not through television or shaded by green-tinted glasses (the color of money <g> explaining it to the dense).. This can be done anywhere by stepping outside. I write this because I think it is important that people relate to their own experiences to draw their own conclusions.. I see mostly RWEs here always asking sarcastically in print.. "Links, Got Links?" Well, I don't have links to most of my stuff.. I have my own mind and my own experiences, which includes the outside written and spoken word, but which must be verified by my common sense..
