Ignoring for the moment that the Dems and Reps differ only in degree, and not much at that, what do you think those poor people do with the money? They don't eat it. Large segments of our economy depend on an unending source of illiterates who will buy articles of the flimsiest quality at ridiculous prices because of some snappy advertisements. You may have grown up poor, jj, but you got the tools to advance yourself. You take them for granted now, of course. We all do. We know how to think. Using this ability, we can see the follies of both political parties. Don't set up the Democrats as the enemy (repugnant though they are). Everybody's spending money like it's going out of style. Some give it to the indigent; others give it to the generals. Personally, I think the indigent show more imagination. -- *** *** JE MAINTIENDRAI ***** ***** ****** ****** 13 Mar 84 [23 Ventose An CXCII] ken perlow ***** ***** (312)979-7261 ** ** ** ** ..ihnp4!ihuxq!ken *** ***
