Been away too long!

Much of my time has been taken up with my Yahoo Group letter. I've never had so much about which to write as in recent months. Our country is in dire straits. The economy, the threat of political changes, the threat of a new president who is bound to change this country into a socialistic swamp -- all contribute to a possible breakdown in our Constitutional control. Few know it, but our standing army leaders have been quietly been planning the use of our armed forces to assist civilian and National Guard personnel should there be civil unrest brought on by the failing economy. There will be the problem of outside attacks with which to contend, too. All in all we are in for difficulties not seen for ninety or so years. I'll try to spend more time defining the situation -- yet keep my other contacts with my group as before.
