That's the spirit!

I'm gonna stay here and fight too!

Of course, one crummy vote ain't much of a fight.

Hey, don't forget that money is speech too.

Now Chas, you know that you have a persuasive way about you. When you put your mind to it, you could influence some people - especially if I couldn't come around your parts to provide an antidote. Actually, get out of the two major metropolitan areas in Mizzou, and not much of what I have to say is likely to find many sympathetic ears.

Regards,

D-Ray

Exactly, and now we will see Novartis, AstraZenica, GlaxoSmithKlein and Bayer "speaching" all over the damn place.

I pop off when I think it will advance my position. I'll never give 'em a dime again, talk about feeding a stray dog!!!!

You could come around here and make your case, as long as you weren't a prima donna. Most of my friends are libs, and they tolerate me, most of the time.

BTW, if you're ever down in this neck of the woods, you should check this place out. If you Google it, you can find a lot of interesting information. Haven't been there since I was a kid, and it was abandoned, but it must be too kool for school.

The Bothwell Mansion, north of Sedalia, is also a must see.

Peckerwood country.

Those are both impressive looking structures. I couldn't even begin to imagine what it would be like to live in that kind of wealth.

I've spent a little time in Sedalia with a couple of unions. Usually pass through when I have to go to Jeff City.

By the way Chas, it sounds like you surround yourself with some intelligent people. Somehow, I get the impression that you would survive if they ganged up on you.

Regards,

D-Ray

That makes two of us. I'd probably live in the summer kitchen where I was more comfortable.

Actually, I hang out with my old drinking buddies. I used to be a lib, before I went over to the dark side. I also know some pretty sharp conservatives, but they're not my old drinking buddies.

I like a well worn shoe.

Chas

Just getting a little tuned up tonite, listening to my new to me hopped up TU-717, and hoping I can sleep.

I've got tomorrow by the balls, as far as I know. Weekend is scheduled for taxes...corporates come due 3/15. No more money than I've made for the last few years, it isn't worth it. I can't even afford a mouthpiece to keep them from piercing my corporate veil, should it ever come to that.

And my customers are still stiffing me for 6 grand from last year. Bastards.

Chas

Must be 'Sui day today. I've been playing with a 4000 I just picked up.

Every day is a 'sui day for me. I have a 5000x running my main rig. It's more than enough power to run my AR-93s, and pleasing to my ears.

Actually, I usually put on a CD every night when I go to bed, and it runs through a Sansui R-5.

Regards,

D-Ray
