Doc:
It was not my original intention nor is it now to start a debate about
this subject. I did not pick up on the fact that Bill's message was a
tongue in cheek and I certainly was not expecting his reply. If he
thinks this Country is better off now that in the 50's and 60's then
he and I have been living on 2 different planets. I graduated HS in
1955 in Kansas and I would not take anything for being so privileged
as to be a kid of the 50's!
The moral degradation I see all around me makes the 60's look like a
Church ice cream social and I do truly believe it will get worse and
worse. The crap on TV, the open porn on the Internet ad nauseam :-(
People who steal our videos from us probably don't even see it as
stealing. Certainly a minor infraction as to what goes on in the
Corporate world eh?
Our gas price here in No. Calif. is rapidly approaching $3.00 per
gallon while Chevron, Shell and the others continue to report
quadruple earnings over last year.
I'll stop before I really get on my soap box but before I do, yes Bill
I do go to Church :-)
