hi all, in reading this most recent chatlist I see even gene and the chatham coalition are going at it somewhat. I have no dog in this hunt, I’ll vote democratic, just like always. I like what will rogers said: I belong to no organized political party, I’m a democrat.  good enough for me. right after  the great studs terkel passed on about a year ago there was an homile on npr  concerning him. he’d been raised in the great depression in his mother’s rooming  house in chicago. he related the saddest thing about that time was when the  roomers turned on each other, the bickering and squabbling were worse than the  poverty. he said and I paraphrase it poorly, stick together, the bright boys  aren’t that bright and we’re all we got.

thanks

Greg Jones
