Re: too many ways

Good comeback there PT. what do you think of the $250 aide to people on Social Security ? That has to cost the government billions of tax payer dollars.

Re: too many ways

Maybe we could ship all the senior citizens to China...China is shipping us all their unusable things over. Maybe we should invest in Pandas

too many ways

about 15 years ago --when manufacturing stared to go to asia and mexico - i had a discussion with a lerned MBA with advanced degrees in economy - i don't have those --

my customers in the south were closing down furniture factories - entire towns were - dying off were generations had thrived in the mills and factories -

the MBA told me that is a developing economy that we must surrender the lower end products like toys and housewares and furniture to low wage nations -

despite his years of study - i disagreed and we had a heated argument ..

i told him that we have 300,000 million people and we all can't be bio-engineers and work for nasa and develop software and medical devices -- we need factory jobs--

so the argumnet ended with him leaving in a huff and over the years i watched as more and more of our customers close up shop -

we can't balme another country - we gave it away and they took it -- but now it's too late to get it back ... maybe we can all be bioengineers or work for google -

what the hell do i know .......... long face

Re: too many ways

Now is the time for all us small people to rise up and put a stop to the ambiguous excuses our politicians are trying to get us to swallow. Hooray for the likes of us who are fighting big brother...RAH, RAH, RAHyesiree....

Re: too many ways

"too many ways to leave your lover".....or was it "how many ways to leave your lover?"

someone said that, but who? Paul Simon?

I went to the hardware store today
everything I bought was made in China
I went to the shopping mall today
and no one there spoke my language.
As my friend John Wayne would say
tell me again ####damn it why I have to 1
to speak English???

Re: too many ways

I walked into a store today...I know, I should have been watching where I was walking....
Anyway, there wasn't a single Chinese person to be found...I think they were all down at Joe's Bar, on the corner of the square, celebrating New Years.................................

too many ways

The ethnic compostion of America has and always will be in a state of constant flux-
otherwise we would only be dutch - or british - or for that matter American Native's-

The issue , in my mind , is our tax dollars should be protecting the current population to
insure that our country remains competitive for those here and those who legally seek the oportunities this country has to offer - we have lost our competitive advantage for a variety of reasons - greed - wall street running amuck - lobby firms - spending billions on wars that are bred from failed policy --etc etc --

Re: too many ways

You are right, Dancer. It was 50 ways to leave your lover! Thanks!!

You know what, Poet, the USA is in Afghanistan
because the Taliban is in Afghanistan
and also Pakistan.
And what 'bout that guy here in Dallas
decided to blow up Fountain Plaza?
Know where he was from? Pakistan.
I believe in peace and love...
I'm a Dylan fan
just wish they'd leave me
here in peace
to listen to the band.

too many ways

no DH - I don't think that's the way either -

but- we need to stop the corruption - stop funneling money overseas by the multi-billions-

channel resources into manufacturing instead of casinos -

promote tourism - there are so many things we can do --

i'd like to see a teddy roosevelt type figure - pounding his fist on the table - telling americans that we can do it --

everybody in washington speaks in whispers -- we need a tiger !!!!

Re: too many ways

No Dancer and Faith, there is only one way to leave your lover...with a smile on their face, and and an aching in their heart.

Deviate, or wishful thinking, take your pick..................................................g

too many ways

we want peace - send the message to washington - make peace or find a new job ladies and gents - thats really all we can do-- is spread the word --

poets for peace - make the peace or kick the bums out !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.
