Not till you just told me. I thought it might, I really didn't see a lot of opposition to it.

The Moderators ( Hello Penny) need to ban you from this site. You are a sick human being.
Penny is still here, just barely.
But I don't see where asking anyone to stay vigilant is threatening anyone?
Penny, believe me, if I said right now what I WANT to say about this individual, you WOULD ban me.
But thanks for GETTING the meaning of my post to Funk House.
Garry - I am the individual. And yes - I DO know what vigilant means.
" Staying watchful and alert to danger or trouble.
You said " Have fun BUT stay vigilant. Vigilant from what?
Yes I am happy about the election .

If Obama is as wise as some think he is, and he's been compared to Kennedy many times..
he'll study that history...Kennedy was very suspicious of his own party, and even more suspicious of liberals.
Kennedy was president when Obama was born.
How ironic.
OH, sh*t!
I just realized something else-
We'll now have a president who'll be
younger than me

Well Garry, I don't know what your intent was in telling me to stay vigilant, but I sure didn't take it like others seem to have. I wouldn't, and still haven't, thought twice about it.
You had some very nice things to post about me and I appreciate them. We may not see eye to eye, but I can tell you're well liked by those here who have met you and you obviously care a lot about the issues. I can't fault someone for firmly speaking their mind and for that I admire you.

Think of it as "have fun" but be careful out there.... (as in don't get hurt celebrating like some of the cities have been known to do after sports teams win????)
Actually that's probably not what he meant, but I'll give that advice...

Proposal 1 in Michigan was to legalize MJ for medical purposes.

OK - I'll be careful celebrating at my desk since that's what he meant.
And yeah - the new Prez is way younger than me too.

Yeah, Kennedy brought hope and promised change BUT was a horrible president and is only well regarded for one reason...let's hope Obama does better to deliver on his promise.

GOOD FREAKING GOD, CHESTER!
Did you read my ENTIRE message?
He thought the country was in a mess, but has hope.
I was simply telling him to loosen up a bit, enjoy himself, celebrate, and if there's anything going on around him he's wary about, NOT TO PARTICIPATE.
WHAT THE HELL DID YOU THINK I MEANT?
Jeez, Louise, go have a six pack of beer and get laid, will you?
But I guess I owe you SOME thanks-I really do enjoy drinking brandy.

Thanks-just doing my small part for the process-just wish I could get more non-seniors to serve as election judges.

Seriously he's going to look a LOT older in about 4 years....
(BTW if he was truly born while Kennedy was present he's not really that much older than me either

)
