    No be here........it is a pickin' day....I promised to no be here.

    The first sentence..."completely predictable does not make it any less reprehensible."

    ...

    The last sentence..."Americans can understand instinctively..."

    Gads...

    In the 1990 Jay Rockefeller paid a visit to Martinsburg West Virginia, Vet Center. I was employed there after getting fired from a postal job. Always-Out, jumping from one fry pan and into another... I think:

    ...The aims and standards of the oppressors teach something that's a painful wake-up if we Listen to our inside conscience, and so our ills and evils always remain, and let's survive our successive "liberations." We live in a world with dishonesty and miseries. hint. Instinct. However:

    Let's never be greedy, snoops, pipers, peepers, yellow peppers, jalapenos, wasteful, thoughtless, and wear fancy threads, white starched shirts with black cricket cuff links...

    But it is okay and still legal to wear a big red bell pepper as a loin cloth and be a DC lobbiest? okay- Amend that.

    ...When Jay (not a jailbird like us) Rockefeller visited the Vet Center (btw- Max Cleland, the vet who drinks beer and lost three body limbs, tsk.) in a propaganda's swing-tour via local-yokel hillbilly heaven...I gave him a 8X12 print of Vietnamese peasants in their native homeland. The photo was perfectly suitable for a free govt.frame.

    I hate to be a Ingunna giver.

    I want that beautiful image returned!

    Maybe a triple amputee neo-wounded soldier can up-date and do the interior decoration of these Congressional critters office walls. O, go out and get a honest job like a honest injun instead. Hock those cuff-links and root for some pizza brown crust dough from a trash DC tourist can.

    Of, course as completely reprehensible as it appears to me, the way J.R. looked at me when I gave him a gift, throwing the image inti the trash-heap doesn't make it any less reprehensible.

    Thanks. Vent.
