	Good job, Alex.  When gold goes up, that usually means trouble, as  
gold is primarily an investement that hedges against inflation.

	Come again?  Now you've lost me, Alex.  True, us right-wing  
weirdos are scared out of our shorts right now, with Slick Willie (and  
getting slicker alla time) ahead by 30 points.  But I'll venture to say  
(honest!  this is my own opinion and was in no way influenced by Rush  
Limbaugh!) that the right wing agenda that you say has been working its  
way through the country has really been a LEFT wing agenda..I have no idea  
why you want George Bush out of office, Alex, because he's been your  
greatest ally over the past four years, since he's signed a liberal tax  
increase, a liberal civil rights (read: quota) bill, and backed off on a  
CONSERVATIVE capital gains tax cut, which would (in your eyes) make the  
rich richer...I'd like for you to name just ONE THING George has done that  
can be classified as "right wing" that has hurt your economic state of  
well-being.  Betcha can't do it.  I just named THREE things George has  
done that were quite liberal moves that I've seen affect those around me  
adversely.  And guess who he compromised with to make those policies law?
Hmmm?  Could it be...CONGRESS?!?  (as in, the opposite of PROGRESS?)

	Also funny since they're more of the same crap he's been shoveling  
us for the past 4 years.

	We can agree there, too.  Isn't it fun to watch Clinton and Bush  
fool us into thinking they're moderates when they're both just as liberal  
as each other?

	Writing in Dan Quayle in '92 (as Alex hangs his head in pity of  
me...)
