All our youth know how to do is charge it and pay more in the longer run.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, it’s probably the older generation’s money that they’re borrowing to get their instant gratification…<BR/><BR/><BR/>Re: College loans, it’s just more of the instant gratification thing all over again. Tell me, when you were in college, where did you go on your vacations? <BR/><BR/>Never mind, I already know the answer ;-)<BR/><BR/><BR/>Re: the Fudge-it, let’s NOT go there, we both know what Congress says and what they do have little or nothing to do with each other. <BR/><BR/>Q. Did they really honestly call the Amnesty bill amnesty?<BR/><BR/><BR/>Re: the Guam World War II Loyalty Recognition Act 288-133, all that I can say is, WTF?<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Re: Political discourse, it’s dead. It’s all about politics, all of the time now. <BR/><BR/>Remember when ideas ruled the day? <BR/><BR/>Me neither, it’s been so long. . .Hooda Thunkit (Dave Zawodny)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13176392380086227377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21829866.post-40844795483117221422007-05-23T10:43:00.000-04:002007-05-23T10:43:00.000-04:00Here's a link to the votes on the Guam bill...our ...Here's a link to the votes on the Guam bill...our representative, Marcy Kaptur, did vote in favor of the bill.<BR/><BR/>http://projects.washingtonpost.com/<BR/>congress/110/house/1/votes/309/Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677808307727487766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21829866.post-18502807833741011762007-05-23T10:40:00.000-04:002007-05-23T10:40:00.000-04:00here's a link to the actual Guam bill:http://www.h...here's a link to the actual Guam bill:<BR/><BR/>http://www.house.gov/bordallo/PDF/HR-1595.pdfMaggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677808307727487766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21829866.post-30652818483421631212007-05-23T10:30:00.000-04:002007-05-23T10:30:00.000-04:00"Why are United States citizens, through their tax..."Why are United States citizens, through their tax dollars, paying for people killed by the Japanese????"<BR/>Let's just hope that this sets no standard and the victims of any other enemy we've ever had don't start sticking their hand out.<BR/><BR/>We should be making note of who voted to spend...or squander this money and see to it they are looking for employment come November.<BR/>Then again, they might find safe haven in Toledo city government!-Sepphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11187463448901564093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21829866.post-28759836282320634542007-05-22T18:38:00.000-04:002007-05-22T18:38:00.000-04:00Ahhh...modern tech....keys to the future:)Ahhh...modern tech....keys to the future:)Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06994015303281337316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21829866.post-24210779226312036342007-05-22T11:38:00.000-04:002007-05-22T11:38:00.000-04:00Jill - thanks so much!
