For Kismet--

No politician is perfect, but we sure need a big change from two terms
of ineptitude, irresponsibility, divisiveness, hypocrisy. It is not a
happy thing to watch the current President say anything as poorly as he
does. We have continuously suffered from non-stop Rovianisms, Cheney
manipulations, and all the other negatves and blunders of these George
W. Bush years. But I think we have only one choice: TO SURVIVE, TO
RETURN TO OUR INHERENT VALUES and that sadly will take a long time, but
we can do it. 

It reminds me of  George Burns, when asked, "What does it feel like to
reach the age of 90 years?"

His reply, "Considering the alternatives...."

So we do what we can to keep going, and hopefully puppetry can be part
of the process. It can enrich us all.

ALAN COOK
