Pete, I am surprised that you would attack our great President George W. Bush with that same old tired
argument that the Dems have been using for the last two years about him not being duly elected.
Not once during that fiasco in 2000, when the Democrats were trying to steal the election from G.W.,
did Algore ever win a recount. The Dems were desparately punching out extra chads so they could use
that lame arguement that you threw at us about G.W. not being the 'elected' president. I think there were
something like three counties where the count changed significantly at all, and they were the three counties
that had the heaviest Democratic registration of any of the counties in Florida. The modus operandi of the
Socialist Democrats is, if you can't win it fair and square, get it anyway you can.

Those tired old social ideals that you Europeans are so fond of just don't sell over here in the great USA when
they are clearly explained in a manner that everyone can understand. Why was it that the German people were
so exuberant when they were tearing down that wall that seperated East and West for all those decades? Is it
because, in the spirit of man is a desire to be free and to govern their own lives, like we do so well here in the US,
and the only way you can get people to live in a communist society is to rule over them by force. But, Germany and
the rest of Europe aren't communist you might say. To that I would reply that socialism is just communism that hasn't
grown up yet.

Is it just accidental that the United States leads the world in production of nearly everything they have ever done, at least
until the rest of the world catches up and starts producing it at half the cost because of their under-developed economies
that utilize labor at a tenth of the cost that the United States labor market pays. Is that somethig to brag about? Only if
you are proud of the fact that 90 percent of your population lives below a standard that the poorest of our citizens live at.
If our free market system is so bad then why does it work so good? Why do people from around the globe flock to our
country all the time?

Faults can be found in any system of government. After all they are all run by men. Who are all imperfect. So, why
should we think that there is a perfect form of government that is going to supply everyones needs. Come on back Pete.
We still have room for one more industrious piano repairman willing to work hard and prosper from his own efforts.
And we won't even tax you at 48% when you make more than $47K a year.
