They've gotten old and feel they have to protect their 'baby'...which isn't<BR/>at all what it used to be and no longer fits the original image. <BR/>Like parents who won't let their kids grow up, it's stifling and an<BR/>illusion and worrisome in that it<BR/>gets confused with reality.Coghaulerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07405489185078199524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996512539454415045.post-33169644521179571742007-11-18T09:51:00.000-08:002007-11-18T09:51:00.000-08:00Richard: You're right, contacting them would actua...Richard: You're right, contacting them would actually get something done, as opposed to just whining...<BR/><BR/>But I'll let them do what they will - their target audience is middle-upper class white car drivers, and one letter isn't going to change that.<BR/><BR/>(Same that my one vote can't end rule by groups like <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skull_and_Bones" REL="nofollow">Skull N' Bones</A>...)<BR/><BR/>I know, I know, every letter counts , every vote counts - or at least that's what Skull N' Bones wants you to think. But look at the 2004 presidential election: it was a fake choice between two members of Skull N' Bones.<BR/><BR/>It's sad, but I've given up on fixing broken things (politics, society, etc) around me - I just bitch about it, and try to do the best that I can in my own life.matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09504279735392637388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996512539454415045.post-42353122129723283752007-11-18T00:39:00.000-08:002007-11-18T00:39:00.000-08:00Why not drop a letter to an NPR producer or host a...Why not drop a letter to an NPR producer or host and tell them about the race and why its interesting.
