a few political thoughts
Last night I listened to O'Reilly interview Hillary Clinton. I have voted a straight Republican ticket since Tom Dewey. I will vote for John McCain this fall. However,
I thought the interview was very good. It made me less afraid of having Hillary for president. She's obviously very bright,ans well prepared. Doesn't come throgh as far to the left as I expected. I was convinced that Obama would win the nomination, and then the presidency. Because of Wrigth, of course, I no longer think he will win the presidency even if he wins the nomination.
Yesterday, we went down to the capital, and listened to a lot of the debate in the Senate on the bill to force women to have an ultrasound in the first trimester. To me, this seems altogether wrong. Government should stay out of the pro-life debate, and make no mistake, this bill is anti-abortion. I am neither pro life, or pro abortion. But I do believe the government should stay out of it!
Oh well, at 84, I don't have to worry about the long range consequences!

Hello,

I'm an Italian girl and I'm working for my Thesis at the University.

My Thesis is about thechnology and elderly; I think it would be a great opportunity for communicate, and also to have useful services. Often Seniors feels that computer are too complicate to understand, they speak a sort of foreign language, and don't use it; of course this is not true and all they need, I think, is to be shown all the benefits.

So I would like to know about you, the idea to have a very nice blog, your connection with computer, Internet, when you have started using it...everything you write me , (if you want to write me, of course!!) I think it would be interesting for me!!If you want I can give you my email address..

Best greetings!!!

Sara

Sara, I would be glad to talk to you. I have been using computers since about 1973-4, and in some circles, I was the old man guru.
