I don't know whether to laugh or cry...
You, who worry about democrats versus republicans -- relax, here is our real problem.
In a Purdue University classroom, they were discussing the qualifications to be President of the United States . It was pretty simple. The candidate must be a natural born citizen of at least 35 years of age.
However, one girl in the class immediately started in on how unfair was the requirement to be a natural born citizen. In short, her opinion was that this requirement prevented many capable individuals from becoming president.
The class was taking it in and letting her rant, and not many jaws hit the floor when she wrapped up her argument by stating, "What makes a natural born citizen any more qualified to lead this country than one born by C-section?"
Yep, these are the same kinds of 18-year-olds that are now voting in our elections! They breed and they walk among US...
Lord--we need more help than we thought we did!

Good morning everyboomie.
Welcome to the weak-end, which will be immediately followed by a strong front, pushing me back to work for 6 straight days, so tonight I'm gonna party like there's no tomorrow.
Not really, I'm fixing to go to bed.
More and more my bedroom is becoming a 'retreat'.
Don't ask retreat from what.
I see by the old clock on the wall it's time to have my head examined.
Yeah, I'll do that right after I sleep on it.
Have a happy day everyone.
