Draft Gore

Harry — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 19:59:27 +0000

I have decided, after much consideration and thought, that when the California Democratic Primary (mail in) ballot arrives, I will write in “Albert A. Gore Jr.” for Democratic Nominee for President.

In my very considered opinion he is the very best person to be the next President (just as he was to be the last one). While others might be good, I cannot honestly and ethically settle for second (or third, etc.) best. My decision is partly, but not entirely, based on the fact of global climate change and my belief that Mr. Gore will be the most forceful president to take the necessary actions to try to stave off the massive chaos and loss of human life this century if we do little or nothing about global warming.

In any case, that’s my opinion. Your mileage may vary, but I urge you to consider this course of action.

Lakota “Indians” break away from U.S.

Lakota Native Americans, who gave the world legendary warriors Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse, have withdrawn from treaties with the United States, leaders said Wednesday.

A friend of mine asks: Will they grant the rest of us asylum?

I say, go for it Lakota! I’m all of 1/64th Iroquois — alas, insignificant — and hope they do the same.

No Music Day

Did you know that recently, just before Thanksgiving, the United Kingdom celebrated No Music Day? What a great idea. Just imagine an entire day during which we are not inundated with the background “noise pollution” often called “music”. Peace and quiet. Silence truly is golden.

My favorite shopping mall, where I sometimes walk for exercise and often socialize with friends, insists they MUST have overhead music or people will no longer shop there, or at least buy lots less, ah, er, stuff. Are they right? I seriously doubt it! I’d (almost) kill to find a quiet place to shop (and walk, and socialize). Alas, there are no No Music Days in the good old noisy and annoying USA.
