DIDN'T vote for the government in power. Your job lasts until the next
election. People disagree with you constantly and publicly. You can't take a
holiday without the press following you about.
You've got to be crazy to want to do that job.
Ergo, the world is run by crazy people.
I'm NOT going to vote for any crazy guy, now, am I?

It sounds so nice. And telling stories to the children - when the
oppotrunity is there we must really apreciate it. Their eyes look like
pearls, when they
are looking at you, listening.
But the time when they are wideopen to what we tell them is running so
fast, and one day in the future they will no longer ask for our stories.
Hope you are having a wonderful day with the cildren.

I have no particular objection to having a female president but have had it
up to here with all Republicrats. There's not a nickel's worth of
difference between any two, and none can be expected to follow any
meaningful party platform. I vote my conscience as a registered Libertarian

meal, and he wanted Duck a L'orange, so he thought that if he fed it
oranges, mashed up, the meat would come out ready marinated in orange
flavour. Come the summer, the duck laid her clutch of eggs, and in due
course, they all hatched out, except for one, which had clearly suffered
from the unnatural diet of citrus fruit, because it was a good deal more
spherical than the rest, and had a definite orange colouration. The duck
continued to sit on this unusual egg for many days after her normal brood
had hatched, but when she finally gave up, and left the nest, one of her
ducklings, pointing to the unusual egg, said, "Look at the orange mama
laid"!
Gordon said it was scary.

talking about democracy, where the people vote for other people to represent
them, and the ones who get more votes than the others get to argue with each
other in some sort of forum. If that doesn't happen in the USA it doesn't
bother me much, although it makes me wonder why they've spent so much of
these last two centuries fighting for democracy.
Perhaps we should have a vote on it?

IMHO, a "wasted vote" is one placed with a candidate likely to win without

He he - you always have your sense of humour. In periods I have loved
cross stitch too. I have maid little 'long' tablecloths, we call them a
'runner'
and we use certain ones for Christmas and others for Easter time.
I've made som for Easter with yellow ducklings, little blue bells ant lots
of daffodils. All sewed ongreen clothes. On a darkblue piece of cloth I made
once a little panorama of af village in snow just by cross stitching every
thing in white. Even some small stars and a thiny moon. :-)
