Youth was in my time idealistic. Now instead of idealistic they have an agenda. Whatever the new improved politically correct concept may be,, just jump on it.

I've argued with my neighbors girlfriend about the merits (or folly) of ethanol. According to her, ethanol was the answer for the near future. I disagree with the entire ethanol idea. Present data is finding out ethanol is and will always be a waste of time, effort and money.

I guess you got me with the "Those days, I hope, are coming to an end, Dan"

I have to say in many ways I can be repugnant. It's my nature. At the moment a good friend isn't talking to me. Her 18 year old cat died. She doesn't have any children and said her cat dying was like a child dying for those that don't have children. I couldn't take it, told her what I thought about it and now she's not talking to me.

Yeah, I can be repugnant and,, a real jerk.
