Thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak my mind. I lost my job this past year. When Clinton was president I was secure and prosperous, but in the last year, we had to close our operations. We simply could not compete with foreign labor. This foreign labor worked for low pay under very bad conditions. They worked very long shifts, and many even died on the job. This competition could hardly be called "fair." I was forced out of the place where I had worked for 34 years. Not a single government program was there to help me. How can Bush call himself "compassionate?" Far worse, I lost two of my sons in Bush's evil war in Iraq. They gave their lives for their country, and for what? So that Bush's oil buddies can get rich. My pain of losing my sons is indescribable. While it is trivial next to the loss of my sons, I regret to say that I also lost my home. I simply have nothing left. How can Bush call himself a Christian when he neglects people like me? I am a senior citizen with various medical problems. I'm not in a position where I can begin a new career. I was reduced to the point where I had to live in a hole in a ground, all because of President Bush. And when the authorities found me there, did they have any compassion for my misfortune and ailments? No, I was arrested. Mr. Bush, I dare you to look me in the face and tell me you are a compassionate man! I dare you to look me in the face and tell me you are a Christian! If I had any money left, I would donate it to the Democrat Party. If Al Gore had been elected in 2000 I would still have a job, a home, and most importantly, my dear sons!

Saddam Hussein
Robinson Crusoe, shortly after washing ashore on a remote island, had need of a long (thirty foot long) wooden plank; so he looked around, spotted a tree, and decided he'd start the next day by using an axe to chop down the tree -- and then trim the trunk into a plank.
Crusoe estimated it to be a three week job.
At dawn, Crusoe went to the tree, lifted the axe and ... suddenly ... he spotted what looked like a plank floating into the beach on a wave.
Crusoe ran down, splashed into the water, and ... he had the plank, and ... It was perfect.
But instead of takiing the plank from the sea, Crusoe pushed it out, he shoved it over the waves, and he watched it float away in the current.
Crusoe then went to work on his tree.
He had saved his job from cheap foreign imports.
I'd love to know M's reaction. :o)
