Yes, gas prices hurt. WE go to the store, doctor's appointments and trips to the hospital. That's the full extent of our driving anymore. I haven't been to the range in almost five months. I've even skipped the last two gun shows.
Being retired and on a fixed income sucks big time. Not what the wife and I had planned for our golden years.
There's an interesting thread on another foum about how Bush has teamed up with Fox and, at the time President of Canadam Martin and the scenario is downright scarey. If there is any truth to the article depicted in that thread, Bush has not only sold this country down the river but may even be guilty of treason.
I don't know how to post a link to it, but if someone E-mails me, I gan give them a link to the site and the thread.
Nuking the entire Middle East suits me just fine. It's too bad President Ford (I think he's the one) had our supply of neutron bombs destroyed. Those were the bombs designed to do little structural damage but kill off the population. They had an extremely short half life. Could have wiped them all out and had all the oil.
Reinstating the draft. WOW! That'd go over like a pregnant high jumper carrying lead triplets. Frankly, I'm at the point where I feel we should give the new Iraqi government an ultimatum. You have three months to quit squabbling and get your act together because in three months we're outa here. They wil never have a democracy over there. Those people are tribal and each tribe wants to be the one running the show, That'e what allowed Saddam Hussein to get into power. His tribe had the most guns and he was ruthles enough to use them.
I think we should pull out and tell that bunch of socialist blissninnies called the U.N., "OK. We've done all the dirty work. It's your show now." and pull our people out.
