our tate relatives names to add to your bussiness cards.we have cousin agi
tate and her husband ira tate they may cause too much trouble but brother
facila tate is always helpful aunts cogi tate and medi tate are ones who
think things over and will gladly lend a hand . we won't mention anything to

Subject: I'm back!
Hey again everyone! I've been off line for a while, but I'm back again.
I'm now on short term disability and am planning to go on the long term
soon. It was just the right time to do it, for many reasons. I'm
looking forward to my new "career". I told my best friend that my new
business card would show my job title as "troublemaker", and she said,
"agitator." I've got alot of ideas in the works, altho' many of them
will have to wait until I get moved back east here soon. I want to be
closer to family, etc.
This Monday, I have an appointment scheduled to speak with Congressman
Udall's health representative out here in CO. Altho' I'm not in his
district, I want to speak to him regarding my issues and concerns
regarding pd, which aren't always the same as some more typical ones.
That's partly due to my age, and to my personality. I really want to
stress my concerns regarding the environmental links, etc.
I saw some threads of conversation in the digest I just received about
school violence, Columbine, etc. Once again, I got myself right in the
middle of things that day, as I live right across the street from it. I
helped out a couple that day, and as it turned out, their son was one of
the one's killed. That whole thing was and is unbelievable. I've been
working on some poems that I intend to send out to key political figures
regarding my position related to those issues.
Meanwhile, I'll leave ya'll with another poem, altho' not really pd
related, but I like it. It was in reponse to an ad put in our paper by
some "Christian" group, to whom you can apply so that on Y2k, you can
be living safely out in the middle of Wyoming in their well-stocked
bunker.
THAT FATEFUL DAY
Jesus and His hound dog
On that fateful day
Turned their backs on Mankind
And on Y2K
WIth His trusty pistol
And His AK4
He'd be well protected
>From all of that and more
For tho' He had no fear Himself
'Twas clear He'd had enough
Why should He remain alone behind
To deal with all that stuff?
After two millenia
Man stil killed his fellow Man
"I'm sick of this. They never learn.
Let them all be damned!"
"What I bring to them is freedom
>From all which they might fear
But like before, they just listen to
Those things they want to hear."
"Back then I let them kill me
So to save them from their sins
That one time was quite enough
I'm not doing that again."
"Within themselves, they have the power
If only they believed
To save themselves and the Earth
But they'd rather stay deceived"
"The answer to the question
Whether this is now The End
Lies with Man and not with God
On his faith it will depend."
"If God can clothe the flowers
While feeding birds up in the air
Surely He can handle this
Along with all their cares."
"Meanwhile, as I wait to see
What's left on New Year's Day
My dog and I, along with God
Will ring in Y2K.":
