Hi, So, was Pres Bush's speech the least watched of such State of the Union talks because people don't care, because people thought they might get ill watching it, because all is well and they think he is doing a fine job [but thank you very much for asking!], because there is nothing they can do anyway, because people think that abolishing social security as we know it is a great idea, because people really were watching the basketball game or listening to jazz <g> and too focused to switch? Why was this? Musing, Marlena in Missouri (exhausted after dealing with driving all around getting the prerequisites for a Merit Badge Academy...specifically those for the architecture merit badge--but thankful that there are helpful people in the world...and really wondering what her child will do with his life as after each badge he has done he states "I have found my career, Mom!" and wondering when everyone else in the world chooses a career to pursue [for at least a while]) ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html
