Comments from a friend which tells a lot about “Bush-world”:
>Thanks, Harry. Is the nation drunk? Well, not in Oklahoma.

>My former neighbor and friend {omitted} sold her house here a few months
>ago, and moved to Tulsa to be close to her daughter and grand-daughter
>(following her husband’s sudden death two years ago). She sold here for
>over 400K and bought a brand-new house in Tulsa for 189K. She has had
>trouble with her neighbors and handimen ever since she moved there. She
>is a liberal who marched against the war in Vietnam even while her husband

>She has commited several no-way-you-don’t, but she did. She built an
>outdoor patio, she is fencing her property with a solid wood
>fence. Initial offenses. Her brick layer, upon hearing that she listens

>These folks are not drunk, they are insane, no, worse. They have no brain.

Sad, really, that the conservatives believe they can force their viewpoint on everyone. Seems they just don’t get what America is really all about — not their little personal worldview, but allowiing everyone to live together in peace and freedom. It’s going to take a long time to bring that message back to the heartland.
Any older, California or other Expensive Area liberals, here’s a suggestion, especially if you have any family in the midwest or south: Sell the house, take the profits and buy outright a couple acres in the midwest with a nice house. Then get your viewpoint out there. We need to shake up this country….
