It's funny, your...You're a good man, charlie brown. <BR/><BR/>It's funny, your reference to the Forefathers. Ironic, I guess, since they were mostly deists. But your point is well taken. <BR/><BR/>I'd say one of the crippling paradoxes we find ourselves in at the moment is we all want to change the "Big Government," so we're a less interested in the little government around us. We've got two governments to face up to: Our State's and our Nation's. It's like we're all working on the Nation's, thinking it'll improve the State's, when really I think it must be the other way around. Or at least I think the Forefathers saw it more in that light. But to get back to the other side of the looking glass is much more difficult when you've got a Jabberwocky breathing down your neck. <BR/><BR/>Rebecca came out of her hiding place and posted a wild and rambling comment on a recent post at my blog.

It just doesn't look right in print. Is this how that little guy turned a great college football star for one game spelled his name? I can't remember.Derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16236694490047619649noreply@blogger.com
