Yes things are changing all across the area, you know the danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency.
It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president.
The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America .
Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince.
The United States can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president."

Hi Everyone, This forum sure is quiet! I wonder why? Hey-- does anyone from Shelburn remember the "Gray Ghost"? How about a family by the name of Thompson?

The "Ghost" was Hershel Ault, state troopper.

THANKS ttt! I never knew his name just called him Ghost but I knew he was ST. I talked to him on the CB sometimes and had coffee with him at the truckstop in Shelburn a few times. A good guy for sure!
