Why do hamsters love doing time on the wheel in their cage? If we watch the hamsters does that make us strange?
I missed the 1960's and the Age of Aquarius. But I think some individuals locally and nationally are still trapped there, along with the spirit of Timothy Leary hovering above (or below). John Kerry is there still fighting against Vietnam in his $250 shirts. Many teacher union members with blind allegiance to class warfare and a collective mindset --- forerunners no doubt of the Borg are there. And we are led to believe these teachers want enlightened students who are independent, critical thinkers. Oh, then there is also Susan and her faithful and once reputable lapdog Toby enjoying the extended karma of the era.

After taking the oath to preserve and protect, they grandstanded, throwing service awards in a show of defiance that diminished each sacrifice. Their stories dominated while the stories of thousands of honorable vets went untold. I don't hold it against them after so many years, but I'm dead sure I don't want their darling Kerry, the man who voted against funding our guys in Operation Iraqi Freedom, to
