"Its too bad we over 35 can't join. I would seriously think about joining right now."

We don't need to join - or rejoin. If the UN were to attempt such an ill advised thing as to authorize force on the United States, not only would active US forces rebel, but there would be AMPLE use for the skills of us oldtimers. No matter how old you are, if you still remember the skill....the left has no concept what they are dealing with.

Correction of an ommission : I'd like to know not only where they'd get the TROOPS for such a thing....WHERE WOULD THEY GET THE MONEY TO PAY FOR IT??

I'm considering a smallpox shot so I could at least help. I had one when I was a kid. I'm sixty and reasonably healthy.

They would hit NY first I would guess and that's where I am.

Read an old newspaper (1875) which was about a local family who had smallpox. I took particualr notice that the family was isolated, that there were no cases in the nearby city (Rochester) and that "The weather is SO EXTREMELY COLD that the infection is not likely to be transmitted in the clothing of persons.

Maybe our bitter cold was a blessing this year just as our unusual warmth and sunshine was a blessing last year as it kept our spirits up.
