Thank you. We ALL needed that sobering spanking. Tommy Lee Jones had a wonderful line in "No Country For Old Men"...after his deputy said what a mess they had found in the desert of a drug deal gone bad. He paused a second and said, ' Well, if it ain't a mess, it''ll do till the REAL mess gets here." Yep, it could and may get a whole bunch worse, but we must identify what is important in life and nurture it and share. John Wooden said a great player was someone who made those around him better. We don't need leaders if we live by that.....CFF

Cool. Since your brother in law is doing so well, can we scrap all farm subsidies now, please?
