Our intra-domain differences, I submit, are dwarfed by the distance from our planet to others...such as the planet of the stock market enthusists.

All to often the reason people volunteer to be members of a group like the "community" caucus or run for elected office is that they come in with an agenda. They want something for themselves, their friends, or they are obsessed with a political agenda. Let the voter beware when you accept the opinion of an ad hoc committee or believe a newspaper with its own social or political agenda. Jim:

However, if white fathers took more time to play basketball with their kids, it might help to improve their jumping just as helping with homework improves their math grades.<br/><br/>DLJ Jim:

These Halloween terrors are tame. The most frightening thing I've seen is a Todd Stroger for CC President sign. So forget the witches, skeletons, and spiderwebs. To really scare those trick-or-treaters (and their parents), plant a Stroger sign on your front lawn. EEEK! Ghosts, goblins, ghouls. These Halloween terrors are tame.

Is that place still there?<br/><br/>Dick's memory of long-ago days -- when you seemed to agree about so much -- points to something I've thought a lot about lately. I think at least one of you way back then must have kept certain thoughts to yourself. The younger you were the more likely you did. George’s? Is that place still there?
