"FEMA" does begin to sound like the name of a disease. "I am so sorry. I
understand your husband has come down with FEMA."
Doug - Haliburton, Bechtle et al probably have a different perspective, that
is, they view the US Government as one of their own Agencies - with VP
Cheney the over-all Agent in charge of that one. Don't worry. The
Corporations have comparable Agents in most countries - Hugo Chavez in
Venezuela a troublesome exception to corporate rule.
Hate to be so cynical on a beautiful Indian Summer day. Sorry most of the
Indians are no longer here to enjoy it. Ah, the occasional sheer guilt of
being alive. Then, again, with the current leadership going around the
paranoid 'protect the rich end', I or we could be taken away in the next
clean-up. What was once a body - with a little luck - could become a museum
piece or a few lines in a poetry anthology!
I better get going - to work - while the going is good!
