Hi zebra Like the markings on your coat these remarkable characters find their way into the press's spotlight....you can never figure out which color they are until they come out of the Sanvanha grasses. Fascinating characters....they are often very interesting. Buchannan is wonderful to listen to, Goldwater was also, Rush has a golden voice as well as Newt, Barney Frank and many others. And I loved that little Texan, We haven't heard from him for awhile. Clinton too. It cuts across party lines and livens-up the show. A very peculiar party going on down there in Washington. Both on the right and the left....about the only useful thing they have done is raise their own salaries. Montana is a beautiful part of the world with about as hash a climate as you can get and still grow something. The long term residents allow that the weather weeds out the flower beds very quickly. The people out there maybe conservative and quiet, but that comes from self reliance and honest conventional morals. They have a built in disdain for "flat landers", "gad-a-bouts", "loafers" and malcontents. You make a mistake in perceiving Montana as a bastion for splinter groups and odd ducks....**Not So**. Atleast percentage wise there are probably a lot more in NY City or New Orlean's. They like to deal with problems directly....good stand-up fist fights out back are still the first choice in settling disputs. There lives are changing fast....because of the stupidity in Washington, power of the Agri-business money and an inability to open new markets for their range products. Kids are still leaving the state in great numbers to find futures. But we have chatted about this already and Montana hold-overs have been dealing with it for years. Actually the state motto is: "Come Visit as long as You Like...Just Don't Stay" BTW....Kasinski worked very hard up there, paid his bills, supported the library and didn't bother anyone.....sounds like Montana. They also send democrates to the Washington congress....because they send more money back to the state and elect republican governors and state representitives because they spend the money better then the democrates. Been going on for years. Chip
