Shout Out to Bob Powers

I agree with Mr. Powers on the validity of the list---when I first saw it in a newspaper I thought it was some sort of a joke----I guess maybe it turned out to be just that-----

Felicity Ussher Strikes a Chord...

Rod,

Now ask yourself; is it so wrong to like only violent videos and McDonalds? Just kidding :)

You're right that article is a good one. When you think about that article she's completely right we are much too willing to accept technological improvements then we should be. Do the words Bill Gates' Microsoft suddenly come to mind, or is it just me?

Melissa :)


ROD RESPONDS: Oops! Forgot to mail a copy of this one to Fliss. Sorry. As to Mr. Gates: we can't afford to bad-mouth anyone around here. We need all the support we can get. BUT this magazine is proudly made on a Mac.

I love you, man. Ehm... Is that a Bud Light?

So Rodya talks about all the wonderful writers who have ever done a piece for G21, and how this one made him feel warm and fuzzy when he was down and out, and that one sent him words of encouragement, and all sorts of nice things like that. If my heart had cockles, they'd be overheating from the love-fest. Oy!

But let someone get him a paying gig, one with actual future possibilities, and is there any public gratitude shown? Hah! Not a whiff of it!

But I'm not complaining. I never got adequately thanked for saving the world from Communism, either.
