Thank you.

Tom-
Glad to hear it. I am convinced that the biggest failure of the public schools is the lack of historical education regarding the US and its founding. If high school grads were required to read and understand these and a few other documents this country would have very few problems today. After hundreds of years of politicians "solving" our many problems we have more than ever. I guarantee that someone on this board with a fifth grade education from the forties knows more about these items than anyone under the age of 25 on this board.

I would also like to know why only certain dams should come down??? Why not ALL columbia and snake river dams??? It would, after all, provide a natural spawning path for salmon and steelhead.

I also like how you lefties rail against the "RICH" and then advocate voting for Cantwell. Last count has her as a forty millionaire. More than a family of ten could spend in five lifetimes. How much extra has this do-gooder sent the IRS in the last five years. It seems that she only believes that the gov't needs more of our money. I wonder how much her tax person makes annually. If the current tax system is so fair...could she not do her own taxes. I will bet that she pays someone several thousand dollars per year to save her more in taxes than most of you lefties make.

And when someone overcharges you for an item, what do you do. You grab something for forty dollars and when you get to the register the clerk asks you for fifty. Do you: A- pay the fifty B- correct the clerk and pay forty C- offer to pay 49 bucks as long as the mgr approves of you having the item.
