What you may not appreciate is that there are "new" old folks being
created all the time, and quite a few more moving into Florida as part
of their retirement dream.

Florida has fallen to 5th in "oldsters."
Besides, one generation of oldsters is different than the last.
They "learn."



About all the GOP has these days: "scare" techniques.

And, luckily, the liberals have you.

Scott did one thing that impressed me. When the Feds tried to hand

between Tampa and Orlando he said no thanks. Scott said the project
was ill advised, not needed and a financial boondoggle - absolutely
right on all counts. Not many governors would have done that.

The $2.4 billion was quickly allocated to about 24 other states.
Good for Scott. I'm sure those states appreciated his largess.

But facts are useless when you're talking extremist politics.
Scott is now doing something similar anyway, but with slow trains.

Scott probably wanted to be sure there would be funds to pay for some of
the costs of the drug tests he wanted to impose on welfare recipients,
because that would have channeled dollars into the drug testing company
he owns.

I know Crist is running a pretty good campaign against Scott, but it is
awfully close.

I have absolutely no problem with drug testing public assistance
recipients. Why should the hard working, tax paying union members of
this great country be supporting junkies?

That is just sad.

Your life is work?




You don't seem to get it. I like what I do. In many cases, my work
helps people who really need help, in this country and abroad, in
sustainable development, delivering reliable potable water, worker
training, worker rights, et cetera, in underdeveloped nations.

I also get to meet and work with interesting people in a number of
fields of endeavor, including business, labor, the fine arts, music,
theater, and movies. I get to wear a suit and tie if I want. I get to
travel to interesting places on someone else's dime. I get paid nicely
for this, and get to produce interesting deliverables.

To me, that's a lot more interesting and a lot more fun than flying
model airplanes, playing golf, RV'ing, et cetera.

To each his own.

Because the dems can get them to vote several times each cycle as long
as they keep them dependent.

It would impose a hardship on those folks to be drug tested. Just like it would impose a hardship
for them to get a free voter ID.

To Krause, hypocrisy is a reason for existence.
