Just a bit of keyboard work and I found the speech referenced here. The link to said speech: http://eurofolkradio.com/2015/11/17/davy-crocketts-famous-speech-against-the-welfare-state/

A brief excerpt from said speech: “Mr. Speaker — I have as much respect for the memory of the deceased, and as much sympathy for the sufferings of the living, if suffering there be, as any man in this House, but we must not permit our respect for the dead or our sympathy for a part of the living to lead us into an act of injustice to the balance of the living. I will not go into an argument to prove that Congress has no power to appropriate this money as an act of charity. Every member upon this floor knows it. We have the right, as individuals, to give away as much of our own money as we please in charity; but as members of Congress we have no right so to appropriate a dollar of the public money. Some eloquent appeals have been made to us upon the ground that it is a debt due the deceased.

Democrat = noun, democratic = adjective or it can be an adverb, GRRRRRRR and I hear professional speakers misuse/interchange these two daily. My $0.02 worth.

Thanks for the info. Sort of goes along with PM Margret Thatcher's remarks about socialism and running out of other peoples money..........

Morality Test

How moral are you?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This takes less than one minute and is incredibly accurate...well worth the little bit of effort I promise.

This test has only one question, but it's a very important one. By giving an honest answer you will discover where you stand morally.

The test features an unlikely and completely fictional situation in which you will have to make a decision. Only you will know the results, so remember that your answer needs to be honest.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The 'Situation'

You are in Miami with chaos all around you caused by a hurricane. There is a flood of biblical proportions.

You are a photojournalist working for a major newspaper and you're caught in the middle of this epic disaster.

The situation is nearly hopeless. You're trying to shoot career-making photos. There are houses and people swirling around you, some disappearing under the water.

Nature is unleashing all of its destructive fury.

Now . . . 'The Test'

Suddenly you see a woman in the water. She is fighting for her life trying not to be taken down with the debris.

You move even closer. Somehow the woman looks like......Oh, Good Heavens, it's Nancy Pelosi!

At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take her under forever.

You Have 'Two Options'

You can save the life of Nancy Pelosi OR
you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the last minutes of one of the world's most powerful women hell-bent on the destruction of the USA.

Lastly . . . 'The Question?'

Here's the question, and please, give an honest answer.

Would you:

A) select high contrast color film, or...

B) go with the classic simplicity of black and white.

Question, what was the last thing a dog licked before kissing your face?????

I CRINGE!!!!

I still have some tailored 13 button bell bottoms stashed away in the old seabag. Could not get them buttoned if I wanted to. The moths have probably been fasting on them for years. Cliff
