JE> If the BBC's right about religion being the motivating factor, JE>then
it's even more worrying than I'd thought it could be
Eac> Hi,
Eac> Yes, right to be worried. I almost wish we could have three countries.
Right!
I'd
Eac> move in a heartbeat to another state if I could figure out how to manage
it
Eac> and thought it would be any better.
I knew a man who walked out on a tenured professorship in Missouri with no job
to go to (admittedly his wife had a good job, and she worked in another state;
and he unexpectedly inherited some money!).
Maybe I'll go to NZ with Julie and just
Eac> be done with it.
Julie is determined not to come here, now what was her excuse again?!
We're going to look carefully at Toronto when we go there
Eac> in two weeks <wry look>.
Eac> Ben was awake at the crack of dawn today. He is very worried about the
Eac> future--most of the kids that were voting for Bush ("Kids Voting",
remember) are
Eac> the 'mean ones' and he said he is worried about what they are going to be
Eac> like when they are adults.
there was a line of "kids" voting in Boston (OK Boston's different, still) who
were medical students; they want a national health service. There are
glimmerings of hope, Marlena.
I gave him my 'Lines to Live By' book to read from
Eac> before going to school (there is a section on defeat). I told him it
would
Eac> be interesting to see if Bush will hold to the hard line or if he will
just
Eac> finish up his projects and settle down.
Yes -- I don't know.
Eac> Sad today and worried even more,
Eac> Marlena in Missouri
Eac> (where we tried...)
I was following Missouri -- the BBC had a flash (flash software!) map
constantly updating -- you did OK, Marlena. I mean it.
