Yah but they don't have to worry about me, most sheeple buy
in.  I"m just one old hippie sound tech.

Yah, I do too, I just haven't found myself digging what
choices I"m offered by the majors in national elections.

I happen to be one of the libertarians.  WHat you choose to
do so long as it doesn't harm others is your business.  I
wouldn't mind the taxes if it all wasn't pissed away down
some rat hole somewhere.  But, I"m no more fond of the
corporate welfare than I am the other type, in fact less so.

Probably not, but I figure neither one of my kids will
notice.  YOungest one can't put down the crack pipe long
enough, and eldest isn't gonna make any babies.  My
granddson might though, and I hope it's not totally fubar by the time he
reaches my age.
