Reply #10: Go Dennis!!!!!

[Mind_your_head]

I don't know 'why'....but Dennis' comment about funding the war reminds me of a conversation that I had with my freshman 'college-kid' a year or two ago....college-kid was 'feeling his/her oats' and now that they were 18 didn't have to tell/show me ANYTHING....they were 18 now ya, know!!!! 'Independent/free/an ADULT'....college-kid didn't have to tell/share/ask permission for ANYTHING of me anymore (ever) if they didn't want to.....

I asked to see college-kid's grades. College-kid says "No - I don't have to show you if I don't want to." I said, "yeah, that's true, but it's REAL SIMPLE ..... if you want any more money or support from me, I'm not gonna 'raise my voice, or give you any hard time, or give it any discussion...show me your grades or you're on your own.

Simple.

(I saw the very good grades, btw....no one 'lost face'. It was just a matter of understanding/putting people in their 'rightful place' as to how they contribute to their own success or failures.)

Congress DESPERATELY needs to claim their 'rightful place'....the sooner the better!!!

Go Dennis!
