Like my new Al Gore Avatar Image?

I like it. My wife did it for me. Anybody else want it?

Let's hope Eisenhower is a prophet!

I don't quote Republicans often. This paragraph says so much and includes Howard Hunt.

The paragraph.

Now it is true that I believe this country is following a dangerous trend when it permits too great a degree of centralization of governmental functions. I oppose this--in some instances the fight is a rather desperate one. But to attain any success it is quite clear that the Federal government cannot avoid or escape responsibilities which the mass of the people firmly believe should be undertaken by it. The political processes of our country are such that if a rule of reason is not applied in this effort, we will lose everything--even to a possible and drastic change in the Constitution. This is what I mean by my constant insistence upon "moderation" in government. Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are H. L. Hunt (you possibly know his background), a few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid.

Feel free to use this version I just made instead

Done. (Just don't tell Marta)

AFSCME has 1.4 million members currently and is the fastest growing union in the nation. I still have my Green AFSCME Kerry-Edwards T shirt. I saw Kerry in person once and Edwards twice.

Try the DU UNION page sometime: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=367 :-)

They BOTH look great!

Since I now have the new improved, you can't see Marta's original image. When I updated it changed all my posts to the new image automatically.

I was just "pretending" to be stupid..... as far as you know.

10. Download it to your computer, then on your preferences as personal image.

I tried to but received an "upload failed" message. Pic is to large, it's 50 x 50 and only 48 x 48 is allowed. :shrug: I must be doing something wrong.
