OT Stereotypes of "liberals" vs "conservatives"
RCM only
On Sat, 13 Jun 2009 00:18:03 GMT, the infamous "Lew Hodgett" scrawled the following: "John R. Carroll" wrote: Now there is a guy that realy saw the world change. Did you know that aprox. 1/3 of all of the WWII draftees were rejected as physically unfit? Malnutrition and starvation were largely the cause. My mother, my grandfather's youngest child, saw an even bigger change in the world. Born in 1905, she made it to mid 2008. My great grandmother on my dad's side lasted 99 years and 50 weeks. She fell and broke her hip while ramblin' around the nursing home and died on the operating table an hour or so later. The nursing home was going to furnish all services after her 100th birthday free, so she just missed out. I think she was born in 1868. She saw _changes_! The night Dad was shot down over France, she had a vision about it and phoned my mother. The Air Force called Mom and confirmed it the next day. My grandparents on both sides (except Mom's dad) lived into their late 90s. -- The doctor can bury his mistakes, but an architect can only advise his client to plant vines. --FLW |
