[Vision2020] [Spam 7.31] Fw: People with opposite outlooks.

[Chuck Kovis]

The "funny" part of this post is that the "conservative" who is forwarding 
this shit wanted to represent me in the legislature.  Laugh out Loud. Smile. 
Roll on Floor Laughing.  Keep it up Roger.  That's why I love the first 
amendment.  Chuck Kovis
