Haven't been on computer because it seems the angle I hold my arms aggravates the arm pain--but Nooooo, it hurts no matter how I hold it or use it, so I said to hell with it and use it anyway.

Yesterday I had four new tires put on, Uniroyals that Western Auto ordered for me. I had the best of the old ones saved to use for a spare. Okay, that's done. Also, the loggers haven't been around since last Friday; that makes me feel better.

But I found something else to get riled up about--you president, Georgie Bush, aiming to change the Endangered Species Act. In essence, Federal agencies would decide for themselves whether highways, dams, mines and other construction projects might harm endangered animals and plants.

That's like letting the fox guard the henhouse. Why don't these Federal agencies go ahead and do what they really want to do--go into any territory they please and machine gun and use a scorched earth policy to wipe out troublesome things like endangered species so they can go ahead and build whatever they want? (This is me being sarcastic of course, but with current mindset, maybe not far from the truth.)

The time will come when Federal agencies will come through and machine gun anyone who protests their actions, then go after the endangered species. Oh wait a minute--that's essentially what our country did to the Native Americans, isn't it? Been there, done that.

Re: The arm pain: do you use wrist pads in front of your keyboard and mouse pad? They do help. I got them for carpal tunnel syndrome and the pc doesn't aggravate it anymore.

Then McCain (Bush II) makes light of money spent on DNA testing of Grizzlies in Montana. Like science is a joke. Grrr. Hope you're feeling better.

Dear sol; some people get it, some people don't.
Unfortunately our country's dictator doesn't get it.

Hawaii, hope you've found something to alleviate
your bursitis--I'm taking Ibuprofen once in a while.
Do hope you are better soon..

Bush and Cheney will destroy as much as they possibly can before we can boot their butts out of the White House. I just wrote to my senators and congresswoman about this very thing. Disgusting.

marta; I've heard comments that it seems Bush wants
to get the Endangered Species Act watered down to grease
the path for him and Cheney once they're out of office, so
they'll be "in" with contractors etc. I wouldn't put anything
past those two.
Thank you for caring, for writing to your senators and congress-
woman. The world needs more people like you.

Man is his own worse enemy.............Laurie

Can Bush change the act himself, or does it have to go thru Congress and Senate?

elfie, news sources say he bypassed Congress--how he is
allowed to do that puzzles me.

Bush can go through the House and Senate like a knife in melted butter.
