    that's all I need to introduce the King, who is never a non sequitor


    Elvis Presley - In The Ghetto
    (written by: Scott Davis)

    As the snow flies
    On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
    A poor little baby child is born
    In the ghetto
    And his mama cries
    'cause if there's one thing that she don't need
    it's another hungry mouth to feed
    In the ghetto
    People, don't you understand
    the child needs a helping hand
    or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
    Take a look at you and me,
    are we too blind to see,
    do we simply turn our heads
    and look the other way
    Well the world turns
    and a hungry little boy with a runny nose
    plays in the street as the cold wind blows
    In the ghetto
    And his hunger burns
    so he starts to roam the streets at night
    and he learns how to steal
    and he learns how to fight
    In the ghetto
    Then one night in desperation
    a young man breaks away
    He buys a gun, steals a car,
    tries to run, but he don't get far
    And his mama cries
    As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
    face down on the street with a gun in his hand
    In the ghetto
    As her young man dies,
    on a cold and gray Chicago mornin',
    another little baby child is born
    In the ghetto


    --------

    thank you very much

    I think your bulimia has caused you to lose your mind.

    I don't get why you're quoting me when saying this . Are you adding on to what I said or something ? I just think the hypocrisy of Bush supporters is amusing.

    I think this is a great article that cuts to the heart of what Dean is about. He is no different than Mondale, Dukakis, McGovern and other classic Democratic liberals who always lose big in the general election. The only way that any Democrat can win the presidency is to fool the whites in the suburbs that he is a "centrist" as Clinton did twice and Carter pulled once. Gore only completed that task halfway and thus his positions on gun control hurt him in several states such as Tennessee. Unless the electorate takes a far-left turn between now and the election, Dean has about as good a chance at winning the Presidency as Vanderbilt or Baylor (for you Texans) has of winning the NCAA championship in football.

    Vanderbilt or Baylor would have a damn good chance if they only had to beat McNeese State for the championship.

    I'm glad you said McNeese instead of Sam Houston.

    Hey, I would never diss my hometown school.

    And... I'm off to Montana again... everyone have fun without me the next two weeks... even though tempers may get a little hot at times, I sincerely hope everyone's here when I get back.
