-Our new President and Harley's voting record. (3)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi, list friends. I don't want to start lots of political discussion, but I have to tell you all that I am very saddened by the turn of events making Bush president. I have lost total confidence in the supreme court, and I have come to realize we do not live in a democracy. The only thing that will make me happy is to see political people elected by majority popular vote. That Bush can stand up there, knowing he lost the majority vote, is quite nauseating to me. Although I did not vote for Bush, I would feel the same way if the tables were turned. Maybe I should move to Canada. Any warm provinces? Anyone from Newfoundland on the list? That province interests me! But it ain't warm! I wanted to mention that I have invested in a flat rate long distance program, that enables me to make calls for a monthly fixed rate. I enjoy making new friends, not only by email, but via phone conversations, so if any of you are open to having me call, or exchanging phone numbers with me off list, do let me know. I'll just sign off for now and hope the rain lets up so I can walk Harley dog. As a funny incident: I once lost my vote because of Harley. I went into the booth with Harley and my aunt, and while she was showing me which levers to push, Harley poked his nose out of the curtain, and suddenly sauntered away to sniff someone who was carrying some food. In a panic, I moved the lever to open the curtain to call him back, and they told me that I had lost my vote. I protested that I had opened the curtain to get Harley back, but they said that once the lever was pulled, the vote was counted. I then asked if Harley could have his say, but they said no, that dogs weren't allowed to vote, even if they were as beautiful as Harley. So, my aunt and I had to leave without voting, but I couldn't be too upset, because Harley gave me a big slurp on the face, and when he does that, he can do no wrong. This is an absolutely true story!

Bush president..... I don't want to start lots of political discussion, either, Bob, but I must ask you not to let the prospect of a Bush presidency get you down. Please take comfort in knowing that Harley dog would prolly have won if he had run against Bush and Gore. They say the "best man wins." Well, there were no "best men" running this time, so the election went to the dogs anyway. Might as well have been Harley! No, don't be sad, Bob. This is a time for rejoicing. The all-knowing and far-seeing Republican Party, standing firm on its homophobic and anti-abortion platform, has secured joint control of the Congress AND the White House for the first time in 42 years. The gay Log Cabin Republicans must be thrilled. In assuming responsibility for the federal government, however, Republicans have also assumed full accountability for its actions. There should be no one else to blame reasonably, which is not to say that they won't try. Ah, yes, responsibility! there's the rub - for them, but not for the 75 percent of Americans (including you and me and Harley) who had nothing to do with earning them this Pyrrhic victory. That can be laid at the door of the U. S. Supreme Court. The rest of us can just sit back and enjoy the spectacle until the next Congressional elections in 2002. It will be a circus, Robert. Ringmaster Bush will provide more comic relief than any clown. The balancing acts in both houses of Congress should give us a real thrill -- jugglers spinning "truth" from lies, acrobats on the high wire distracting attention from the catch-nets filling with corporate gold below, Republican elephants dancing on hot-air balloons, while impotent Democrat donkeys bray from the sidelines despite occasional roars from Ted Kennedy and Barney Frank and a loud meow from Hillary Rodham Clinton. Oh, it will be FUN, Bob! Take a seat while I get the popcorn and cotton candy and Harley lifts his leg to pee on the nearest Bush! We WILL have to sit way at the back, though. All the good seats in the cheering section are filled with movers and shakers of the Religious Right! Ben Boxer
P.S. We now have two perfect stars for an X-rated movie I would like to
make, named "The Fucking of America": a Dick and a Bush!

I enjoyed your commentary on the election. Give Harley a big hug for me. I
vote for him too! :-)

Subject: Now back to the show Enough is enough, the last few elections have been almost as exciting as watching paint dry. We should have cardboard cut outs next time. Now back to the show, are there any of you chubby silverfoxes going to Palm Springs for News Years eve.
The Desert Rose Subject: New Zealand bashers sentenced to prison terms Ben Boxer says: Topside or Down Under, they won't leave us alone. While inspecting a submarine in 1993 during the senate's "investigation" inspired by Clinton's promise to integrate gays into the military, now retired senator and known homophobe Sam Nunn was asked why he was so opposed to homosexuals sharing intimate quarters with straight sailors. Flabbergasted that anyone would even ask such a question, he threw up his hands and shook his head in disbelief. "It's so BASIC!" he said. That answer may cover a lot of territory, but sums up the problem. Our difference is so basic it is well-nigh unimaginable to many people of straight orientation. I have never quite understood why because normal human development includes a homosexual phase of "hero-worship" of the same sex in late childhood, usually transferred to the opposite sex at the onset of puberty, which essentially constitutes the birth of young adulthood (menstrual cycles in females, semen production in males). Straights presumably live in denial of having ever been attracted in any way to their own sex. It used to be said of those of us who are wholly homosexual that we continued in a state of "arrested," or halted, development. The unseen "trigger" which "should" have turned our orientation around never tripped. Maybe it's all gobbledy-gook because every psychologist/behavioralist/etc. has a different opinion, and it changes constantly. Suffice it to say that we is or we ain't, and some of them that ain't have this compulsion to beat up on us to prove it. THAT's basic!

Text: Subject: Re: New Zealand bashers sentenced to prison terms Good point, Ben. Don't most straight people go through a "phase" where they experiment with the same sex? Do you think that all straight people are somewhat turned on to their oown sex, which frightens them, and makes them hostile? Is it the lack of touch in our society, the refusal of people to even hug, that makes straight people think we are so different? So many questions! Bob and Harley ------------------------------
