Sorry, even after this long, long note just one more thing. I read a poll that says the American people have only 12% faith that Congress is any good. 82% say they are not. So what? If that many people don't like it, then I guess we must be able to change it, right? What are we doing to change it? W...

Lots of people to blame. And of course people choose a lot of options to spread the blame around. Bankers sure have a large part to play. And by that I don't mean the tellers, or even the middle managers. I don't even mean the small local banks. Although those are mostly gone now. Swept under by the...

I will check this book out. I am always interested in all viewpoints. Here is what I know from living day-to-day for sixty-one years. Much cannot be explained by science alone and while more breakthroughs are happening every day, there are still many things that may never be explained through scienc...

Thanks for the information, even though you posted in the wrong place. Your books sounds very interesting. I don't know too many people who do not want to go back in history and meet a few people. Of course we would all choose different individuals, some authors naturally. I doubt if time travel wil...

Welcome Bookworm90. I am also a relatively new member. Love the great suggestions from others. I also enjoy reading non-fiction history on England's past as well as historical fiction. I am particular interested in women rulers as it is interesting to see how they managed to lead in their times. Mus...

Welcome denisecummins. I am a fairly new member myself. What I would be interested in are the sites where there are new and interesting books noted, as well as discussion groups. Hope you enjoy the discussions here. There is a very wide range of literature choices to discuss and I really appreciate ...

It is usually either that stupid commercial about the cat food; can't spell Meow so I hope I got that right. The ones that goes Meow, Meow, Meow and on and on....... Egad!!!

Or "we all live in a yellow submarine". I think it is the constant repetition!!!!

Thanks for the welcome. When they invent the virtual bar then we can all share a drink and welcome each other!!! I am just starting in this world of personal computers. Spending so much time on the computer at work, and knowing if I had a computer at home I would just remote in and do more work, I d...

Thanks for the George Carlin quote. He is one of my favorite comedians and was a real loss. I really enjoyed his "stuff" routine and could totally relate as I had stuff in about 15 locations!!! It made me realize how unimportant all this crap (hope I can use that word) is. While his routin...

Triple_L - A very safe read is anything by Debbie Macomber. Her stories are all about familes and stories with happy endings. She has several series, so it is not like some authors that have 45 of the same type of books. It is hard today to find books with absolutely no violence or mayhem, but perha...
