    They weren't interested in cereal. But, I must say, the gays were much better turned out than the bums.

    While going to Troy State, such was my last sarcastic communication to a girlfriend who devolved into just wanting to sit around stoned.
    Last I heard she got raped by her drug dealer and dropped out of college.

    In San Diego, the have a beautiful Park, called Balboa Park. It contains many museums and arguably the best zoo in the world. However, there used to be a drive there that gays hung around in order to be picked up. They called it "The Fruit Loop."

    I always thought he could veto the really bad stuff the congress put up for him, and perhaps get some elements of better policies enacted. The congress has to approve most of the significant things that he could do, however, and they are less bad than democrats by a little.

    We are opposed to the same statist idiocy. These people have no understanding or respect for the US constitution nor the individual rights (that precede all governments) that are guaranteed by it, nor the strict limitations that it imposes on the federal government.
    It remains to be seen if Trump understands and obeys those limitations and respects those rights.
    I think we both hope Trump understands and will obey.
