You must have had some very bad experiences while there to be so bitter at a State.

That makes those people foolish clowns. Wouldn't you agree that a person who helps elect an official is entitled to judge a person by what they say the first time, and by their deeds every other time.

My Father was in construction, so we traveled alot, hence no accent. Even-keeled, you gotta be kidding. Although I'm 100% American, my English heritage usually keeps a lid on my hot German temper. Natually I'm intelligent, but don't always show it! But yes, I'd like to think I'm full of logical sense.

Originally Posted By Socrates "...Wouldn't you agree that a person who helps elect an official is entitled to judge a person by what they say the first time, and by their deeds every other time." Yes, I would. The question then becomes: are they always judged by their deeds? I have decided that in a democracy we get the government we deserve.
