builditnow - to answer your original question to me, I realize now I was reacting to Ulysses. I find people's online 'handles' fascinating. I was comparing 'builditnow' to 'Ulysses' - wonder what Freud would have to say about the latter's preferred signature. What kind of COMPLEX might we come up with?? What do they say about each of you??? I like yours much better - it sounds very 'constructive'. Vortex - I think I'd like to get to know you - maybe mine shouldn't be 'lady' - but tornado or hurricane! It's more how I feel.
Think of all the weight that guy is carrying around. I think we all need to just say a little private prayer of thanks that we are not so 'enlightened' as he. He obviously stumbled onto this site by accident - on his way to kindergarten, maybe (after he gets off the golf course and finishes his dissertation, of course.) :roll:
In the meantime, I'm grateful to have found a place where others are as concerned regarding what is going on as I am - where I can hear a REAL person have A REAL opinion on this subject that didn't come from some email that was sent to them in order to scare them out of their wits. (Actually, I'm not too sure my friends have any 'wits' about them) although they will be the first and loudest to scream once all we fear comes to fruition because few besides ourselves will speak up and out.
Fred, my friends are as brain-dead as yours. It IS frustrating - so frustrating that builditnow thought I might be angry at him (or possibly Ulysses, lol). It's the frustration that's getting to me. I like the idea of your program. I'm also a member of NumbersUSA - and found out the other day that I'm in the top 5% of faxers in their group! Keep up the great work.
I want to ask a question of anyone who might have an answer for me. I am an INDEPENDENT - I vote issues and people rather than party and agree with some ideas from each side of the spectrum. I'm not as conservative as some or as liberal as others. I don't, however, have any idea how to find an organization of like-minded citizens who might be interested in an exchange of ideas at the local level without 'party politics' getting in the way. They don't all have to think like me, they just have to THINK! I am realizing just how isolated I am and need to get more involved locally. Any ideas, anyone? :?: :idea:
