That made me laugh. Maybe adding Emilly's pic might have made it funnier.



Nevermind!

People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

Hey there Slick !

Back from hunting? I presume no one pulled a 'Cheney'.

Anyway, I've been waiting for you to comment on why you support Bush.

Yep. Back from Montana, where I..

- helped reduce the Proghorn Antelope population to a sustainable level by exercising my Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms,
- provided much-needed income to three family-owned farms and ranches by utilizing the 'Block Management' program, which pays them for allowing hunters to hunt their property,and
- filled a chest freezer with healthy, low-fat, all-natural, non-hormone treated, grass-fed, yummy antelope meat.

And as I traveled across this great nation, from Virginia to northwest Montana and back (some 5,000 miles), I found out several things:

- All Chinese restaurants west of Chicago and east of Idaho have an "American Food" section in their menu.

- Political ads on the radio are interchangable nation-wide.

- Thanks to Starbucks, it is now possible to get a decent cup of coffee in the West. Despite the legendary 'cowboy coffee' myth, most western coffee I experienced pre-Starbucks was weak and semi-transparent. Now there are drive-up espresso kiosks in every little burg.

- Anywhere in the USA, you can find a classic rock station. Hip-hop, on the other hand, sorta dies out after Milwaukee.

- If you're on a major east-west Interstate and drive more than two hours without passing a Harley-Davidson dealership, you're in an alternate universe.


It may take a couple of days to get out of road mood, but I'll be back in the game shortly.

Slick,

I just thought I'd bump this up as a reminder that I'm still waiting for your reply.

Bush is a President with very, very close ties to both American and outside wealth. He lies for convenience and control. I am not an extemist, communist, arab or terrorist but I do have to say that Mr. Bush is a Monster. How many civilians have died in his "war" on terrorism? Remember the Geneva convention? America signed it, hell, drafted it! Tortue in interrogation? What???How many enemies can we afford? Great and True American author Kurt Vonnegut, American P.O.W. of WWII has a Current book out, "Man Without A Country".Why would a true patriot title his work so? Because he knows what and who Bush is. You might want to read it.

As noted above, sometimes I support Bush's policies, and sometimes I don't. Some of those I support I do so in general, without agreeing with every specific.

What I don't do is toe your "Bush is part of an evil cabal, bent on world domination, which was(at least) complicit in 9/11, invaded Iraq on false pretenses solely to get the oil, quickly tailored the response to Katrina to prevent people of color from returning to New Orleans, rigged presidential elections nationwide(twice!), killed the Easter Bunny(j/k), and managed to do all this without leaving enough evidence to convene a grand jury or impeachment hearing." line.

Saying I don't believe Bush blew up the WTC doesn't mean I support him 100% on everything. It just means I don't believe he blew up the WTC.

So, somewhere above I believe I wondered who you support.

Since you avoided going into the field after all, perhaps now would be a good time for you to enlighten us as to who you DO support, and why. Just remindin'.

Thanks. Bump it once more in a couple of hours. I assigned myself lab work today. Just taking a short break and will re-immerse there.
