aloha again.
will attempt to be coherent, all my tests came back clean but the combination of fentanyl and versed (sp? ) anesthetics has somehow triggered a Massive Hayfever reaction this week.ever try to sleep in a C PAP mask full of snot??? don't.

PAGANI,
you sound depressed. which is probably why i agree with your last comment 110%.SIGH.am also a big fan of Star Trek and expanding the knowledge horizon.wormfood uber alles?

UPPITY
okay, i cannot resist adding my two cents about the Prof.Gates brouhahaha.as a Black Man, YOU DO NOT MOUTH OFF TO THE POLICE,EVER!!!! you don't tease attack dogs either.
i have been arrested twice, once in LA for wearing a denim outfit similar to a liquour store robber across town and once in Neveda for hitchhiking with a white girl ( this was the 70s).each time i was unfailingly polite and offered no hassle or threat to the officers who might decide to kill or brutalize me. c'mon people, this is the US of A with a history of Civil War, Reconstruction (sic),lynchings and the KKK.cops are by nature,conservative black & white (no pun) legalistic thinkers.they wade in sh*t daily and are often short tempered.BE COOL OR ELSE... college academic or not, RACISM LIVES!

PROBLEM SOLVED?
by now you know my opinion on healthcare issues. i was all set to rant again about the fact the Federal Reserve gave 13 TRILLION to various unnamed banks last year,with no strings attached, and yet $1.75 Trillion OVER A DECADE is too much for universal healthcare.SIGH.
while sniffling and sneezing i had an idea, maybe my brain has shaken loose.the Pentagon wastes billions every year, they can't keep track of all the money flowing thru that spigot.in Swtizerland every man is in the Reserves,get my drift? ALL AMERICAN CITIZENS WOULD BE NATIONAL ARMY FOR LIFE! socialized medicine like the VA or Single Payer? we put men on the moon but we can't provide national care???

GOT HUMOR?
just an aside, RON COBB a Great Political cartoonist of the 60s and 70s had two cartoons which are burned in my memory.1. a silent cartoon showing two black astronauts on the moon with Apollo 33 patchs,they are sweeping up the crap left by previous missions.2. outside a supermarket,a line of protestors lay dead,shot by a National Police firing squad.a National Police officer, in a Gestapo type uniform and monocle, is pulling on kid gloves and sneering "Vell,so much for crime in de streets!" thank you Bush 43.

in other news, check out http://www.sharedadventures.org/ an organization which brightens the lives and horizons of the disabled with free airplane rides,surfing,picnics,art shows etc.DAY AT THE BEACH was last weekend which had kayaking,surfing and sailboarding for the disabled near the Boardwalk,including kids plus free food for all later. i usually go but my torn calf muscles vs. sand did not seem like a good idea.
my nose is running again,gotta go catch it. aloha.
