Don't SHRED that! Thanks! I think it was about 1984 when I woke up. I knew this country had taken a wrong turn and wondered what the world thought of us (internet wasn't really developed yet.) Sooooo, I purchased a short wave radio and started staying up all night to listen. I learned what the world thought of us. I heard a priest somewhere say that we have more slaves in the world than ever before because wages were going down, especially in the US. And of course I learned all the rest of what they thought. It wasn't good. It's a damn shame one has to go out in the world to find out what the heck is going on in our own country. I eventually drop-kicked my short wave one too many times and it bit the dust. But now I have the internet and DU and you.
