UW........you aren't saying you could point out some current comparisons in our own govt are you? I'm more worried about the insidious nature of Communism than I am that the powers that be will assign an uneducated kook to some govt post. I don't see how concentration camps could ever be tolerated in this country by "we the people." I have been touting a book I just picked up and recommending it to everyone. Read "Witness" by Whittaker Chambers if you haven't already. I haven't found a better or more descriptive account of the infiltration of the U.S. by Communists for Communism ever. Which BTW continues to this day.

Hi unclewest...Please bookmark this GIT's thread and come back whenever possible. I think of this "house" in SI as just a great place to relax, tell jokes, be serious when we feel like it, and just catch up on each other and the busy lives..heck, sometimes we just let off steam here as well! There are so many forces in DC and other places that seem to be going off the road, that sometimes it is just hard to know what to do. Every single day, the President has another BIG problem (mostly means more taxes for us, or another huge government agency,) or his minions do. Most of us feel they are totally out of control. Narcissism seems to be the common disease back there with some bipolar tendencies as well. It's a nice evening here in Seattle....Sunny but cool (low 60's and hi 50's), spring has sprung as they say, but it would be a good nice to roast marshmellows over a firepit, and have a drink of our choice while chatting with some great folks who wander in and out as we can. Some of us go and tilt windmills during the day (as in catching up on the latest outrage from DC, or Olympia here, or going to Tea Parties...) and then come back here.... I think you already know most of us... Your new property (think you said you were going to put in a bid) sounds absolutely spectacular!! How goes that project?
