[Rhodes22-list] THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER

[General Boats]

Bill,  I am confused.  Alex says "silence is golden" but I guess he just meant
that to be for those like me who enjoy shooting off their mouths about politics
and he is not referring to those who just like to shoot off their guns.

Actually I think Alex is in error since another one of my gods (here come
religion into it again) is Albert (Einstein that is), who says the really bad
guys are the ones who keep silent.  I know from experience what he means by
that.  So I am for both sides sounding off on any topics - just hope each side
would have the good manners to really hear what the other is saying.  Now,
getting back to politics........... ...............
