He was not voted in the last time but he was this time. That is almost
worse because the consequences are now clear.

Dear Bob,
remembering the December afternoon we strode across Harvard Square a
short
while ago (we, being Marcia, you Rick and I), imagining the things this
great nation would be able to achieve, I feel very much the same you do.
The thought how so many suffering domestic and foreign topics might have
been turned towards the better, how peace might have been brought to the
Middle East and intercontinental relations would have been improved --
all
this shall remain a perpetual possibility, only in a world of
speculation.
Unlike your draft dodging former and new Prez, you, my dear Bob, have
served
your country in Nam, and the reigning administration has screwed you by
withholding your disability pension.
I can understand your feelings of bitterness. Stay. Fight. Many times
the
Land of the Free has proved its exceptional capacity of to overcome the
worst leaders, to rejuvenate itself and to start anew.
Methinks I scent the morning air: Hillary for '08!
Cheers,
Gunnar
