MM..I don't think there is much of an age difference between us... Hint: 1961<g> I'll repost something I put on Pal's board.....it's a threat from the Petroleum big whigs to Obama re: the Keystone Pipeline. It made me wonder again whether some of O's decisions have been informed by "discussions" he's had with the players of the major complexes(mililtary, oil, prison, WS, etc).. Let's hope for the best and work to get O elected.... I realize that you don't want to hear that but I think it's truly what's best for you, me, our families and our country's republic.... zeta, I couldn't agree with you more. Older people, like myself, have learned the hard way that if the power exists to use, then someone will use it at some point in time, and they will have the most reasonable of justifications to use it at that time. The best thing to do is to make sure the power is never theirs in the first place. Then it CAN'T be used. Our Founding Fathers tried to help us avoid slipping into Tyranny. Benjamin Franklin said, "[I've left you] A Republic, if you can keep it." It seems that we were not equal to the task. Our generation will go down in history as the generation that lost the USA it's Freedom. It's incredibly sad.

Here's the post MM. Message 27861234 To: stockman_scott who wrote (220664)1/4/2012 8:53:03 PM From: zeta19612 Recommendations Read Replies (1) of 220718 SS and all. This, I believe, is an illustration of why we need to give Obama slack on some of these issues that we feel strongly about and that we think he is handling poorly.... Here you have the president of the American Petroleum Institute threatening Obama if he does not Ok KXL..... These people are ruthless...forget about his political life...Obama's physical life along with his family's lives mean nothing to these people....nothing......I forget about this until I read something like this piece... thehill.com
