ol crossfire, as well intentioned as he is, has no excuse for the Arizonians allowing the illegal aliens to flow through their Empire, and migrate further east to the states east of the Mississippi. Says the man that Ft. Hood made go looney.  miles carry on troop. we've got miles and miles to go before we sleep.

Ken Most of the time I think the whole frickin world is nuts except you and I....and I'm not so sure about you!!   I readily admit bein' nuttier'n Manson. (But harmless.) A visitor to a state loony bin noticed a stumpy little fellow with hair down over his forehead and one hand inside his shirt front. "You look familiar somehow," the visitor said with a grin. "I should," the little fellow said. "I'm Napoleon Bonaparte. God Himself ordained me to rule the world." An indignant voice thundered from down the hall � "I did not!"There's always gotta be somebody who's nuttier.

Why do I seem to detect the odor of an ulterior motive here? Because he stinks, everything about him stinks. The gentleman and I have been having sort of a dialogue by PM exchange, and I think that he's not interested in baiting � just curious. I regret that I suspected his motive.

Good Housekeeping, UL, USDA....just go for it. No one can have too many seals.
Like letters after a name to impress upon the masses ones achievements, seals are the food for the ego.
Seals are also an important part of the diet for some of our northern friends. Letters after a name may well be food for the ego, but they are also more food for the table because those letters allow the holder to command a higher wage.

I'd still like it a whole lot better if we could sit and talk face-to-face, eye-to-eye, man-to-man � whatever his motive or position. Same as with anybody else. Even industrial-strength ass holes aren't 100% ass hole. The better ones are mostly something else.

A substantial number of my friends through the years have been ass holes, but neither their ass holes not their ass-holery was ever their main attribute.

I can tell you one thing and that is-I showed up in Quemado a couple of days before the last gathering there, got a motel room and then rode around town. I looked for a church (he lives on Church Street), went down by it until I saw a house with an old bus and the name Howell, knocked on the door and heard somebody yell "come in". I entered and had a nice chat with Ken Howell. He did not know that I was coming to his house but it did not matter that I just dropped in. I talked to him some more at the gathering and hope to do so again this year. If you do not go meet him when you have a chance, you are the one missing out. miles Accurate depiction of how it is � � and how 'twill ever be, no matter who's there or when, for better or for worse. (So far, better's 'way, 'way, 'way ahead. Can't even remember a worse. But I'm ready for it, whenever, whomever.)
