The internet is salvation....when you need to find something out, or find like minded folks, the internet in general is where you need to go to find things out....

I cant believe how many things I have found out on the internet....its truly mindblowing...

When Andy first went away to college, in 1992, he was talking about how he and his galpal Allison could communicate via computers....now this was 10yrs ago, and it was crude compared to today...

But everyday, Andy, who was going to school in NY, could communicate with his girlfriend Allison, who was going to school in Cal....via computer, and in near real time, almost like being on the phone...

I could just not fathom what he was talking about, it was so unreal, and fantastic to me...yet here I am, years later, on the internet...

Aint progress grand?

I too, remember when Brit Humes son died...wasnt his name Andy Hume, or am I mistaken....

I remember at the time, feeling so very bad for him, because I knew how hard it would be for Brit to come to terms with such a horrible incident...

I couldn't fathom it either
I watched the March for Justice (FR's rally supporting Impeachment) on c-span
c-span played it in middle of night
c-span said it is an internet site
I had no idea what they meant

I had been to rallies my whole life cause my parents were left wing political activists
I recognized this one looked different
everone seemed to sit with a little space around them, as if they didnt know each other physically
also each had an individual look, no two looked the same
also the speakers were interesting, cogent, thoughtful, and exciting

left wing rallies, the speakers are just empty bombast

I wrote to Brit Hume, ''why dont you put this on the air
it is most illuminating and real thing about politics I ever watched''

I couldnt understand email because everyone kept telling me ''it saves the whole burden of putting the stamp on the envelope''
I never thought of that as a big burden
I was used to doing it

also they said you dont have to write whole letter
you can write two sentences
but I didnt get that either
