Well, there are 57 varieties of H...51 or 52 states? Well, there are 57 varieties of Heinz ketchup, right? So there have to be 57 states.<BR/><BR/>What you missed is they are referring to states of being. And while there are 50 political states, northern New Jersey and Southern New Jersey constitute different states of being, and ... oh never mind. <BR/><BR/>I despair for the future. I don't suppose you'd have asked them to check the flag and count the stars.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I really liked your letter about the G-Town professor. <BR/><BR/>What is often ignored in our partisan bickering is that Carter was merely following an economic system that both parties bought into wholeheartedly -- a modified form of Keynesian (sp?) economics. <BR/><BR/>While "history's greatest monster" may have had his faults, he was indeed not responsible for anything that happened in 1975 or really 1976. <BR/><BR/>BTW, the 55 MPH speed limit used to be my big cause. I was in Congressman Jim Howard's district> Rep. Howard is the dickhead who suggested making the 55 MPH permanent after the 1973 oil crisis was resolved. (that is, Nixon wanted a temp speed limit, Howard put forward the bill to make it permanent, and it passed, and millions of people suffered.<BR/><BR/>Once I got a call at home from Howard's re-election campaign. <BR/><BR/>"Would you support Rep. Howard?"<BR/><BR/>"Is he the congressman with the 55 MPH speed limit thing?"<BR/><BR/>"Yes, Congressman ..."<BR/><BR/>"Forget it. I wouldn't vote for him over Stalin."

LOL!<BR/>Also, I have yet another question from Ricky. "Is Mexico one of the States" (I believe the answer is no, but did not want to steer him wrong)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
