Which Reminds ME. I just found some old albums converted to CD from That
particular era. 13 floor Elevators, Quicksilver Messenger Service,
Lighthouse, and of course ELO, Buddy Miles Express among others. Last week
did a sort of sabbatical since I was near these places and saw Janis J.'s
home town and the town in Lousiana where the redneck scenes of Peter
Fonda's greatest (only?) movie was filmed. Turns out both were just a few
miles from places we docked. I do miss the 60's and surrounding years when
we had real music.

so you are an air trarric controller? Oh wait, I forgot, they were the
only
union to endorse Regan, and look what he did to them. You had better
preach
to your union brothers and sisters if that is the vote you expect. A man
with 3 Purple Hearts, a Bronze Star and a Silver star can tell Guard any
thing he chooses.

But no one cares about that except the former 'major media, a few

Iraq had to show they didn't have them. Whether they existed or not
is
not
germane. The whole non-issue is 'silly' at best.

Instead let's address serious issues. What about those non-existent
mass
graves in Kosovo? Also the troops in Kosovo want to know, "Is it
Christmas
yet?" Still waiting for an answer to those questions. What WAS the
real
reason for the invasion of that country? The only answers were a) The
President sent them so you have to support the President b) Mass
Graves
(never found) and c) to make sure all sides can live together
peacefully
(a
complete failure.)

They were also asking when the DNC was going to stop a.
disenfranchising
them. and b. insulting them. (a. New Jersey in the Lautenberger
scandal
and Flordia during the last Presidential election comes immediately to
mind.
b. Kerry telling all the reservists and National Guard their service
isn't
worth squat and the eight years of Clintonistas where we learned that
NO
military service matters at all.

Come to think of it the DNC better keep disencranchising the military.
The
usual 70% anti Democrat vote of the military is increasing by leaps
and
bounds. You see those of us who wore and who wear the uniform have a
real
long, very clear memory; and a lot of scores to settle.

Now on the union side of things I can't speak for all unions but you
can
expect my union to vote against Democrats by a 50 to 55 or more
margin.
The
days of the unions being able to deliver the vote are . . . . .going
going
. ..almost gone.

And in my home area the blue collar working class of Seattle still
talk
about Prince Albert The Man In A Can Who Would Be King and how he
gridlocked
us seven times in two years. Actions speak louder than words.

Have a nice day. I wish the next Prez and Congress could be
Libertarian
but
I'll settle for those who support us, not those 'decent, caring'
people
who
are still 'spitting in airports'.

Yeah, that and the FACT that Bush lied to the American people and
the rest of the world about WMDs.
