Huh? What did you say, Tommy?

Did I hear you say that if we trust the government to do things for us, we're idiots and crazy loons, AND we'll hand over all responsibility for our lives to the king's court?

We'll, how bout that ... ole Tommy is a Republican, I would dare say.

That pretty well somes it up.  I don't really identify with the modern republican party, I am more of a Bull Moose Party member.

I believe these times are very interesting, as much so as 1775, people need to walk up and pay attention, they are mostly asleep at the switch.

To much media and tv and not enough reading. I believe these sites the Grapevines can help bring positive change to our communities, country and the world.

As Bill and Ted said party on dudes. 

A most excellent adventure in deed.

A typo in last statement " wake" up  in stead of walk up. 

In over 200 yrs. still haven't mastered the computer yet, it may take another 200 yrs.
