However, I believe she believes her own press and her own "legacy" is still
to be made. What better way than to be the first female President in the
history of the Republic? Besides, if Billy Bob got indicted and convicted,
she could pardon him.

Write your reply.

assistant: I've publicly come out against the militarization of the Southern Border
for one very valid (IMHO) reason. What would the rules of engagement be for
our troops on the border? With the shooting death of one Mexican boy on the
border by a Marine squad doing recon work and the subsequent uproar that it
caused, it's painfully obvious that we can't send troops to the border and
seal it off.
As long as the ex-military are under the age of 37 when they join the
Border Patrol, it'll be just fine. The Civil Service law requires that
anyone appointed to a law enforcement position covered under the law
enforcement provisions of the Federal Retirement program, MUST be appointed
and enter on duty before their 37th birthday.
However, we need not only more people on the border, but more in the
interior to remove those who are already here in the country. Forget
another "amnesty". The last one was an unqualified disaster. But that's the
subject of another post.
Lastly, the INS, the parent agency for the Border Patrol, is the one
federal agency that has experienced tremendous growth for some time now. We
have NOT been under the budget axe. We ARE however, under scrutiny for
mismanagement, and rightly so. There is a plan to disband the agency and
transfer the various functions to other agencies and make the Border Patrol
a seperate Justice Department agency. Time will tell what happens.
The biggest complaint is the dual role the INS has. Both an enforcement
role and a benefit granting role which many times is at odds with itself.

assistant: Tom:
Nice to know I was missed.
Actually, Bob was driving at the time. :-)
No serious injuries, but the Tempo Bob and I had bought in January got
totaled. We were at a stoplight minding our own business and WHAMMO!
We're 50ft down the street with a quite interestingly redesigned car [it
wound up at least 13" shorter than Ford had intended]. The Saturn, being
driven by an elderly woman who apparently did not see the stoplight or a
white car with its brake lights on [clear, sunny day, ca. 3pm], got $5k
of damage.
Her insurance company has been quite anxious to get this resolved
satisfactorily. The accident was on Feb. 28. On March 5, we got a check
for the purchase price of the totaled car, which allowed us to buy
another 1994 Tempo [we both really like that model]. We've also already
been reimbursed for five days of car rental, and expect no problems over
replacement of damaged property or Bob's lost wages.

Jack Kevorkian...
There was a story I read once in which there was a planet where anybody who
was fed up with life had the access and the right to the proper drugs to
commit suicide painlessly and without harm to others. Folks would knock
themselves out by the thousands every day and those who wanted to stick
round
would contribute to the overall picture (pretty wierd way to look at the
orld
and the enigma of human life). Those who saw themselves as a waste of time
would cease to waste anybody's time any further at whatever time they chose.
Think about it... Suicide as a common cause of death amoung ALL age groups.
People dropping like flies because of little things like the meatloaf being a
little tough.
As far as I'm concerned, let `em go if that's what they want. Don't make me
dodge those bastards on the way to work. If they want out, let `em out.
As far as "assisted suicide" goes, there's no such thing. You either kill
yourself or somebody killed you. Real doctors say they will "do no harm", so
this Kevorkian is NO DOCTOR. Just a hound for attention filling a perceived
need. Those people who die at his hand want to be remembered as folks who
went
the way they WANTED to. Maybe it's not the RIGHT way to go, but they should
handle it THEMSELVES if it's THAT damn important to go "my way". At least
there
wouldn't be any demand for vultures like Jack.
Then, maybe, we can finally get down to business without the quitters in the
way. I hate speedbumps, don't you?
