weelllll
i was just wonderin if there was a result you could quantify and if there
was a need for that information in the planning for the big show presidential
election. is there such information available to you the citizen ? are we in
fair massachusetts organizing to get out the vote and are the poor and homeless
interested enough in our game to take the time to understand what it is that
the vote gives them ?we poor got the numbers. why do we elect rich guys? and
when we finally get a poor boy (bill clinton never made over 45 grand, which he
made for two years teachin school) in they make him a laughing stock.just
another base loser. ??
how many votes do we expect to garner.? and in what direction.?
if this ain't a game, where do the losers get their name ? winners and losers
in the "game of life" .
politics is a game
if i got enough on my own plate why take it away from someone else. eat yer own
food leave the poor have more.
as to signing on to yer list i believe there's too much clutter and i'd have to
read everything twice and three times. why don't you post your list thru hpn.
this proprietary language is too appropriate. so i keep it to one list and hope
i get the right shit.
one more. we are all disabled, to some extent. being human.........
no dispensations sold here.
