since tricky dick managed to find a way to get us out of that democratic party led dirty little war in se asia, and concurrently found a way to help organize an expansion of the Chinese production machine, things have gone pretty good overall. wouldn't you say?

he did get us off the gold standard, and that hasn't been too bad either, overall. a lot of great, middle class housing has been built in the suburbs and exurbs in the last 40 years or so, with a few hiccups along the way.

it's been a deal made in heaven or some variety thereof. every young person I see has a hi-tech phone stuck in their ear, or there abouts.

what to do next? I have no clue. but there's nothing unusual about that.
