A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song. ~Maya Angelou

I'm using a laptop to enter this post, and used one for the last post, too. I love them. Why? Because last night I was watching t.v. and entered what I wanted to at the same time. They make it so easy to "multi-task".
Now, I'm sitting with my mother'n'law and Huzband and discussing Bush, the candidates we'd vote for if the polls opened tomorrow. Rhetoric vs. true speech. She is such a fount of knowledge. She was/is a speech teacher and is watching the candidates on levels I normally don't acknowledge. (Presentations, owning the space, thoughtfulness, clear messages, etc.) Besides being a teacher of speech she is very active in local politics and through that and perhaps having children she is very aware of national politics. Because she is so impassioned and very articulate, her ability to convey difficult concepts is great.
Anyway, we are sitting together, and enjoying the conversations and M'n'Law to help explain the confusing situation put before us; how do we select who we'll vote for?!
That's something else, I love this place! There are people I look to online that help me gather information so that I can make informed decisions. People who are more informed. And most of those people are gracious enough to provide their sources. For that and much moere, I love it here.

Oh, and yipee for mankind for making it to Mars... for creating a machine that can take those baby-steps there for us. I'm as giddy as a me who is giddy... :)
