<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=4>Anyone who has been paying
attention to the issues and what has transpired in the past 4 years
under Bush sure wouldn't be voting to put him back for another term. I'm
thinking that he is pretty close to a religious fanatic because he said God
told him to invade Iraq. There are enough fanatics running countries in this
world and we sure don't need one running ours.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>"I have come to the conclusion that people shouldn't be allowed to
vote until they are 30 and have finished serious classes about the two
parties and the candidates. AND about our history and what
the<BR>different parts of our government actually do. I really am coming
to believe that some people just shouldn't have the vote. All these kids
that Ophra and others are getting registered only know what people are
telling them. They have not yet paid enough taxes, tried to start a
business or gone far enough in life to learn who they really are and what
they really think. I know that because I was one of them. When I talk to
people about our history and form of government I am well aware that too
many people weren't listening in History classes."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>While the young arguably lack experience and occasionally
wisdom, it's also the case that there's no fool like an old
fool. Those 18 year-olds that Oprah and others
are registering to vote represent our primary supply
of warm, willing bodies for the war in Iraq. It's not the
old white farts of Congress -- or of Latah County -- who are out there
patrolling the sands of Samarra. And it's not the
wrinkled and arthritic who will be paying off our national
debt. No, it's those poor benighted young people, the ones Pat
thinks ought to be disenfranchised who will be (and are) saddled with
our burdens. If anyone should be denied the
vote, perhaps it's those of us who are sitting here at home on our
ignorant fat asses, watching reruns of "Murder She Wrote," racking up
debt, and blowing out smoke about wolves and terrorists, snipe hunts and
tax cuts. Youth doesn't make you stupid and age doesn't make you
smart. Not only is discernment hard to measure, it's damned hard to
find -- kind of like a fart in a Jacuzzi.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You see, I did listen in history class, and what I learned is
that the old bitch tends to repeat herself. </DIV>
