.....posted this at another board.....
.....I'm a member of a health club close to me....it's not the highest priced club in Little Rock, but it's far
ahead of most of them....I love it....last night, I was at the end of hitting 3 times in the steam room....it
gets really hot and 5-6 minutes is about all you can stand....through the glass, I noticed a maintenance
guy come into the locker room and he started to work the wastebaskets....I've spoken with him before,
and figured out after a couple of minutes I wanted his opinion on something I'd been thinking about
here of late....he's a black guy, 35-40, all indications are nice guy, kinda' quiet, has a "new" Silverado
sitting out front, while he contracts-out his services daily to the health club, with probably another stop
or two each evening.....
.....anyhow, I walked up to him, said hey, he said hey back, and I said, "let me ask you something....I
voted early for Obama, and have never voted for a republican at any level....now if romney wins, I expect
there will trouble in places like Chicago and say Memphis, but do you think it will be here in Little
Rock?"....without any hesitation he looked me right in the eye and said, "oh yeah"....I said, "southwest
Little Rock?"....(heavy concentration of blacks)....he looked down sorta', and I asked, "Everywhere?"....he
looked me back in the eye and said, "yeah, more like everywhere"....I honestly felt like he was meaning
what he said.....
.....I couldn't help but wonder as I drove home how long this plan has been going on.....
