Retreating from the present is not an option. It may take a little time and certainly some focused effort, but changes in energy and transportation are coming. No one is writing the epitaph for WDW just yet.

If Disney executives actually think this will fly with WDW guest, they are qualified to play Goofy without the costume. I am a little disappointed however, in the fact he did not quote Spirit in this one.>> I am too. That's why Kevin's knees are being used for batting practice by some scary spirits even as I type this!

That's just silly hyperbole.

I hear it's the new fantastic! <<Look, I agree that our government hasn't made some of the best choices - your Dubai port point is an excellent one.>> Sadly, it is. <<But it's quite another thing to say that our leaders are sitting around smacking their gums and giggling gleefully about how much of America they've managed to sell off so far. That's just silly hyperbole.>> That's your opinion. I respect that and would ask the same. I have absolutely no faith in most all of our so-called leaders. I have witnesses the corruption in our government from both up close and personal and from a distance. I absolutely believe and stand by my post.

I think you and I are good enough online friends by now to be able to take a few shots at each others' writings. I completely respect your right to be wrong, as long as you'll give me a break on those extremely rare times when I'm less than completely right.
