"Well, I think Democrats were different then"

That's for sure. Remember the "Solid South?" All conservative Democrats, still mad at the Republicans for reconstruction, 100 years later.

And there were very prominent liberal Republicans, like the Rockefellers and Mayor Lindsay of NYC.

Talk about holding a grudge! :)

Actually, here is a true story about grudge holding. I lived in Thailand for a few months. I was shopping with a Thai friend, and we ran across a begger woman. She was from Burma. My friend treated her with utter contempt. Then she looks at me and says, "They invaded us."

I asked, when was that?

In 800 AD. The way she was carrying on, I thought it happened yesterday.

I don't have any cats, though I like (most of) them...my wife won't let any of the dogs in bed with us. She's probably right on that count.

Ah, Don't be mad because I only did to you what you were thinking of doing to me.

I like when the cats sleep with me during the winter. They are better than an electric blanket.

I would, but I only have four minutes. If I let Gollum out, he's good for a solid 10!

Especially when the heat goes out.

Yeah, in 1964, when my brother and I were still kids, we were bicycling around Scotland. Some of the folks there weren't very nice to us until they found out we were Americans, then they became very friendly.

It turned out they had thought we were English, they were treating us badly because they were still mad about the war that went on back with all that "Braveheart" stuff when I guess the English invaded Scotland or something.

LCS could clear up the actual events if he'd get his computer squared away.

I hated Thailand. That is a country that does not worker. As a farang (foreigner) I was despised. I was nothing more than a wallet since they consider all Americans as rich as Michael Jordan. I was constantly being ripped off. They didn't even bothered to communicate with me. If they needed me to move, I was just shoved. They are rude, little people who have no where to go and all day to get there!

I liked Israel much better. I lived there too!
