Awww David, hang around! Lots of good stuff to be learned here. I've lived
on the earth long enough to recognize that living amongst Cro-Magnons can be
amusing. Yeah, they unfortunately have the right to vote,,,, but they make
a few grunts and run in the wall a few times and next thing we know, they
are running back to 'us' for advice and help.

I, too, am worried about the direction the country will take. For instance,
I never thought I'd see the day that something like the "Patriot Act" would
be put into place. Whenever we strip away the very core constitutional
rights of our people, we do a great harm to our nation and allow the
terrorists to exact an even more telling blow on our country. Fortunately,
there are enough men and women of reason who have actively gone after things
like the Patriot Act, aiding in disabling its' most sinister provisions. It
will be men and women of reason and good conscience that will bring things
around, again. I DO believe Kerry was one of those people, but thankfully
there are many like him - congressmen and women that won't allow those
precious and hard-fought-for documents to be attacked at their very heart;
The Constitution of The United States and The Bill of Rights - never EVER
letting us forget that our Constitution begins with those words; "WE, the
people......"

Though I can't say I believe in a divine being or UFO's (so, in my opinion,
we can't depend on extraterrestrials to help us, either) grin, I can say
that I have always believed that in times of dire circumstance that people
of good conscience will always overcome, persevere and succeed - even when
things look to be their darkest. This country will have it's time to shine,
again! :0) I believe that with all my heart! You should too!!!

Stay with us! :O)
