Well Johnny, I suppose curling lacks the slam bang, shoot 'em up

There's a lot of strategy and thinking involved, along with the skill

I've got to admit, I find women's hockey a little more interesting.

They probably also like ribbon dancing in the summer Olympics. And

North as a janitor has to admire the broom work in Curling.
Now *that* is funny!

It's not right to make fun of Don because of his profession. He
doesn't do that about anyone else's
occupation. Besides, becoming a janitor takes a lot of training,
especially the liberal arts type.
Where would we be without them?

And, most likely the heroin found in that Fallsburg elementary school
was found by an observant
janitor.


I don't know what Don did for a living back in the day, but whatever it
was, it was certainly on a higher societal level than traveling overseas
to a country that did us no wrong and be part of a United States effort
that resulted in a decade of shootings, bombings, and use of chemical
weapons. Really, John, it's hard for me to think of a job that was less
useful than participating in a war against Vietnam in which years of
efforts were made to try to shoot, bomb and chemically send Vietnam back
into the stone age, and kill about a million Southeast Asians in the
process.

Do you ever feel remorse for the killing games in which you
participated, either directly or indirectly? I mean, Vietnam was not
like WW II in which the future of the free world was at stake, right?

There were conscientious objectors and there were scaredy cats. Which of
those were you?
