Keywords: Last time I saw my Aunt "Ted" (Theodora)...


she was badmouthin' the girls goin' to school down at Shampoo-Bananna.
Ted and Albert and some of the others from Dad's side of the family
are some of the wierdest old hillbillies I ever met...Ted was telling
me that them girls go runnin' all over town ha'f nekkid in the summer.
She though that was filthy and discusting. Albert agreed and so did
my Grandma (Ted's sister) I told them old fossils to can their crap.
I told them in just about those words too, then added, "Its a crying
shame that the God you know and love and respect so dearly put you
people in such filthy discusting bodies. I hope to God you don't think
I'm gonna feel that way about me or those girls you're running down.
For Christ's sake, its 90F and about 90% humidity out there! What do
you expect people to wear, fur coats?!?"

Ted told me she figured it would be a woman's fault if some guy raped
her just cause she dressed like that. Shit hit the fan then for sure(8-),
and splattered all over Ted...I told her it was old hillbilly bible
thumpers like her who got this country started letting assholes use
that stuff for an excuse for their actions. Now its up to us people
with more brains to clean up after them old fogeys.

Then I asked her why men would want a woman if her body was so filthy.
Why would a woman want a man whith that stinking hulk attatched? Who
in hell filled her head with such trash? Musta been the preacher and
her friends. She's not dumb enough to think that shit up on her own...

I've read several people the riot act over this kind of crap and I'm
getting tired of it. I'm sure glad some of our generation is getting
into political power. Maybe if we vote right some of this crap will
heal up. I can't gaurantee it though, because too many attournies are
making too much money off of crime.

On the gun control topic, I already have mine(8-). I also have plenty
of ammo to last a good long time. What do you folks think a ban on hand
guns will do? There are so many people who feel as I do...they will
keep theirs too.

And I hope you folks don't fall for the statistics you hear and read in
regard to shootings. The forces that would disarm the citizens in this
country will mess with those stats to make them sound worse. The NRA
has already caught a couple of outfits including justified police shoot-
ings into their figures as well as justified civilian shootings. All
ya have to do is look at Morton Grove to find out that that size town in
this country isn't gonna be helped by baning handguns. I don't think the
crime rate went down (went up instead), but I have a feeling someone will
correct me if I'm wrong...please do. I want to know too.

I dunno, just seems to me that if a few women in bikinnis get raped or
assaulted in this country, there'll be someone trying to outlaw them
bikinnis instead of burning the rapists at the stake. But what does
one expect from a country that'll claim the 55 mph speed limit saves lives?
I haven't seen too many people driving 55 lately. Have you folks?
I just made a trip down to my Mom's and Dad's place at 70 mph both
ways and got passed a lot at that. All I saw on the shoulder was one
fella with a flat. What saves lives is the fact that folks are look-
ing now...for the bear sitting along side the road. And since they are
looking more, they get in fewer accidents. Don't know about you folks,
but I've told cops I'd rather get a ticket than get run over from
behind...

Oh, on that topic...My brother feels that the gummint don't care what 
we do out on the highways in regard to saving lives...If some money is
spent cleaning up after a few wrecks, more will be got. That money doesn't
come out of any politicians pocket. What does come out of his pocket is
the profits he'd make if oil prices go down do to a glut. Sure wish it
were easy to prove that most of them assholes have their fingers in the
till...But all you folks must know that no politician will pass, revoke
or change any law that makes him or her money. Now I see that a few of
our leaders are trying to get the sped limit back up on certain roads.
Well, they may do it now that the gasoline prices are down at the pumps
now. We'll see...

One other thing I was thinking...I feel that politicians may do something
if there's enough public outcry...in certain instances anyhow. What I do
not like about that is the fact that we have to many histerical cry babies
in this country. If those are the only voices heard, we can get some pretty
dumb laws passed in this country. That's probably one reason for dry counties
and the fact that ya can't buy a car on Sunday in these parts. What trash!

Then there's the old, ("Oh, what yer saying is that you read a Hustler
Magazine and figured you oughta rape this lady...Oh, okay then...") train
of thought. Even if a guy did use that for an excuse, why let him get
away with that? I dunno, I'm getting so fed up with what's being passed
off for logical thinking...I get so mad that this whole posting may not
make much sense because of it.


Aw, enough of my babbling. I've rattled on here long enough. I'm just
getting a little sick of  damned fools and their brothers and sisters
making trouble for those of use who don't make any trouble...and the
law letting them get away with it because they can come up with some
watered down excuse.


Sorry for the length, folks.
Best to ya.
