I was wondering when you were going to post.
I know this place has been less than "habitable" lately.
And you can chose not to post or add anything BETTER to this forum.
Lord knows I've had my fill at times, this past week being one of them.

I wish we could enter a public arena (ANY public arena) without being surroundeded by unscrupulous, dangerous or even extremely wealthy and rude people. But they're everywhere. You see them all at malls. There's even more at WalMart...a frightening experience these days (haven't been to one in almost a year, and it will be that long before I go again). I even stay out of big cities when I can. I like my small town and my neighbours. They're enough stimulation and company for me.

That's why I stay home a lot. I prefer the company of the trees and the wind in my face than the commotion of a large city.
I watch for hummingbirds and eagles. Deer and rabbits.
And I'm fried lately by this economic downturn and what it means to the future of my finances and my family.

Arguing with those on this board who are less than prosaic just aren't worth my time.
But I like discussing things with you, and Bowzer and even Socrates, or any of those who want a discussion and aren't just around to push an agenda.
Times have changed. We're all waiting for that next big break, that new revolution in social or technological engineering right around the corner. And we're all still reeling from that net, that snare that was the Bush administration. They need to be held up as an example of poor taste and criminal intent. It's dishearteneing to even think they got away with all they did.
