(3,733 posts)11. I'm a big fan of Robert Hunter
in one of the books I have by him he talked about this song.

(3,733 posts)14. I had several of Hunters records
I really liked his versions of his songs a little better for just sitting and listening to.
His version of the Terrapin Suite is my favorite.

openly run out of polls or required to jump through impossible hoops, etc.

(65,616 posts)17. Well since we won't let the U.N. monitor our elections...none?
Without independent verification, there can be little to none.
