HI...I hope that you had a wonderful Christmas ( or Hanukkah ) and that the New Year treats you well, old friend! :-)

No new Victorian/Edwardian books out for this Christmas, so no, I'm off reading on a different topic. I like alternative history books, so I just may look into what you're now reading. Thanks for the tip!

Oh pleeeeeeeeeeeeease...don't hand me that tired excuse for not saving; it's so old, its white beard is trailing on the ground! Even the poorest of the poor can save, if they REALLY want to and some of them used to. Almost nobody lives from hand to mouth today. There is absolutely NO valid reason to NOT save; yet fewer and fewer people think ahead and put anything by. Part of it,I lay at the feet of Benjamin Spock, whose baby rearing book is partly responsible for generations of instant gratification whingers.

Can you play Quidditch on line?

It was fine, made it thru another year. How was yours?

It's called "The Great War Series" where the South is fighting alongside the UK, France, Japan and Canada plus with Mormon rebels that were defeated by the US. The US and Germany are allies.

Although I do partially recognize what you say about the Spock generation, that is true in that case so I'll agree with you on that one point but I've seen a lot of hand to mouth living and even experienced it. I do admit that although I am very conservative morally, socially and militarily, when it comes to economics, I'm more of a progressive, at least when compared to an average Freeper, more of a William's Jennings Bryant or Teddy Roosevelt type. Mainly it is my religious views, I'd make a good Catholic, I like the roles of captial and labor have that Pope Leo XIII wrote in his 1891 piece, "Rerum Novarum." B-) Don't worry, no name calling, I try not to do that and all it does is add to the rancor where you get more heat than light although I've done it sadly, but we are all sinners. I'll just say on some of this, we respectfully disagree.

Got to take a look. I know there is a Quidditch game for the Playstation II.
