[Rhodes22-list] A heads up before hitting the send key

[brad haslett]

Wally,

As Charlie Daniels would say, "Ain't it good to be alive and in Tennessee!"  These are interesting times and as a long time student of history, fascinating as well.  We're facing the twin threats of an economic and political calamity and the response of the masses is, "don't tell me, I don't want to know!" Or, "let's try this", ignoring that it's been tried before and it didn't work. So much for a discussion in a bar - let's all go back to gluing our eyes on the game being played on the big screen and going numb.

As to hobbies, I've got about all I can afford.

Brad

Brad, I can't speak for the email as I did not send. I didn't vote for
Bush
or Obama so your opinion doesn't bother me at all. I stayed away from
politics this go around as I saw no up side to debating on this forum. I
think your email shows you don't understand what is bothering many list
members.

How many times are you going to post the same stuff over and over? For what
purpose? Do you really think it adds value to the list? What is your
motivation? Try making your point and moving on......it should not take 100s
of posts. For God's sake man spend some time enjoying you hobbies instead
of
spending countless hours on-line whining,

I know.....you say "but the libs whined when they lost"......yeah
that was
pathetic too. Are they now your role model? For me it is not what you guys
are saying. I can handle the different view points. I don't understand why
you post the same shit over and over. You have become the very thing you
used to bitch about. Brad is a whiner. You do it in public and for all to
see. I don't think it is terminal......but hey it is up to you.

Calling folks sheeple.....You have used that word before. It seems to mean
anyone who does not agree with Brad. Why did you feel the need to add that?
I wonder who really got their feelings hurt.
