Homestead mailing list

["Lynda" <lurine AT softcom.net>]

No, hope!  The public schools have succeeded and we are now repeating the 
results.

On another list a woman, mother of 5 (ages 2-10), good devout Christian (God 
is her guiding light, so she tells us), asked if people could explain why 
they were happy there had been a change and why they were unhappy with Bush. 
She also seemed surprised when the conversation went from someone saying 
something about Bush to the usual "Clinton did it first/just as bad."  She 
had never heard of Ruwanda or Drafur.  And asked if we'd explain it all to 
her.

My question was "do you vote?"  No answer.  I'm afraid the answer is "yes."

People watch the ads on television and believe them.  They don't do their 
homework.  They go in the booth and mark the party line.  They do NOT 
question authority!  P.S. has succeeded!
