*Just back<G>
One night in 1972 I was on the street in Olongapo, Phill Islds when
Army tanks rolled in, and an election was settled by Marshal law!
Troops swept the town and rounded up most of the mob that ran
that town, and the next day everyone had a fresh haircut and was
sort of *quiet.... Over in the town square the exicutions started at
noon and went on for several hours. The "President" had declared
his "House of represenitives" illegal and taken action to restore
law and order.
We had just come over from So. Vietnam where that "Republic"
was at war with popular forces (*meaning VC) but was as full
of corruption as there are holes in swiss cheese<G> Shortly
after we left that country went belly up... and that was a shame.
Last friday, I stood on the USS Arizona memorial and now tied
next to it is the USS Mizourrah<g> and my son was stone silent
with "somber reflection" that where WW2 started you saw where
it ended. Everywhere in Hawaii was Japanese folks... P.I. folks..
Vietnamese and Anglo-white "Hole's"<G> ...all gathered on a
island that was formerly a Kingdom with the motto...
"The life of the land is perp-i-something in Rightiousness"
*It seemes to me that any way we can settle the ruffled feathers,
is better than ripp'n a country apart by warfare, theft or corruption.
America is a country of mixed race,creed and religion... that carries
justice and in-justice with a fickle balance. What we see in Fla. is
a cross section of american ethics! "Old age and trechery overpowers
youth and skill"
I say- let the wild horses buck, feed them hay bales and let them
spit out the sticks, *charge it to the wind and let the dust settle it!
Howdy-do Pres. Gee-Dubyah!
*Fire up the Bar-B-Q and let's run it TEXAS STYLE!
