have been "on the trail" for a long time, and that's ALL good, but as you said Watergate was more innocent even with all the upheaval going on regarding Viet Nam too. But back then it was BIG NEWS, it was Viet Nam, Black Panthers, SLA etc. It was actually rather violent. But I do see your point. However, Congress seemed much more in "tune" with the rest of the country and "we the people" seemed to have a voice.

Now, I wonder so often if they even KNOW they got elected "by the people" and that's my uneasiness. Then again, you live in a place that's MUCH, MUCH more open minded from where I live, and my repression may be showing! Living here for so long it's extremely difficult to stay optimistic for any length of time. The BIGGEST thing that has happened for Democrats where I live was that Obama ACTUALLY came here and held a Rally!!

Democratic Presidential candidates don't come here, he was the first one I can remember... EVER! Anyway, my daughter tells me not to get too uptight and give it time, so I'll hold off for a little while.

But my sheer "hatred" for BFEE knows no bounds, and I rarely say the word "hate!" It's not a word I like, but when it comes to them I just can't help myself!
