No, I don't .  I was speaking generally.  My brothers all have children, so I 
do have a genetic stake in the future. 

 Marie, you are very bright, and a half a generation in front of me.  While I 
can understand why you can't stand the republicans, I don't understand why 
you think the democrats are better.  I know why the young people voted for 
BO.  It was "cool", "hip" - a fad. The MSM sold him like the newest packaged 
Christmas Touy with the best Madison Avenue advertising.  Most of them could 
not tell you his position on important platforms.  

I don't think he will do that much worse , personally, than McCain would have 
done; except, and this is a big exceptionm; he has huge majorities in 
congress.  They can do a h*ll of a lot of damage in a short period of time.  
I haven't heard any of their leaders talking about overturning the p*triot 
a*t.  I have heard him appoint the same Harvard/Yale/Goldman Sachs type that 
worked for GWB and Clinton.  Robert Rubin is on the boord of Citigroup - was 
the COTB, he should be a leper in the financial world, not one of the 
president-elects primary financial and economic advisors.  

Anyway, I see bad times coming, reallyy bad times.  But , my visio0ns are 
sometimes wrong.   And,  I enjoy the compnay of Pollyanas much more than the 
company of people like me............bobford
