God,metesky,you are always right on target !
I want to go back to the fifties------pure heaven it was ! Adults were actually treated like adults.

Shay shweetheart, long time no see. How are you?
I'm very well and very busy. What more could a "girl" ask for?
The red bits of NYS and PA ought to secede and form their own state.
Why do I care? It's not my ox being gored. Let them round up all the fatty's in a nice smoke free stadium. We can crucify them, burn them at the stake or stone them for public amusement.
