GUEST, Forum Lurker: Good points but this administration ain't into learnin' any new material when it come to the "w" word. Repubs have beat the "welfare" horse since FDR. They just don't like sharing. Hey, doesn't matter that the infastructure of America was build by poor folks, in their minds they *own* it. Period. Discussion over.

In Little Hawk's world it won't be like that but we're gonna have to wait a tad for that world to evolve, but evolve it must or this little experiement called Earth will just burn itself out.

And I gotta agree with ya, LH, in your assessment of parties but until mankind gets to a higher level of cooperation, inclusion and caring, Iz gonna have to stick with my Green folk.

Speaking of which, Dougie, thanks fir the endorsement. Actually I have given thought to running for the House of Representatives after I get retired in 2 or 3 more years. I'm not a stranger to system and am currently involved in a number of community projects working, I hate to say it, predominantly with Repubs.

And GUEST: 4th request! You know the drill, my friend... A name? Is that too much to ask? Or even a number would be a step in the right direction.....
