From: Jacqueline Keller [1969] I was in Sr. Susanne's graduate class (1967-68),

(If I can use that politically incorrect terminology. Referring to people like cattle.) Hopefully as a Jasper yourself, you read "my" Jasper Jottings where I capture things like this. If not, I can offer you are "free" subscription. <<I used to say it's free, until I was reprimanded by an old Curmudgeon pointing out that he was paying for a computer and access and email and that wasn't considering the value of his time. ;-) >> There is "no charge" for access to anyone. It's a labor of love. You know the kind of "labor you love to hate". Of course, I'm "much younger", than Sister getting my undergraduate degree in '68 so I never knew her. But never the less, I think Jaspers always seem to leave "big shoes" to fill when they receive their eternal reward. I try to capture the essence so as to inspire our fellow alums. I know it inspires me. Thanks for the note which helps us to "see" her better. l8r,

Moderation is the optional process after a comment is made that holds it for review. As with all the bozos out there as you can imagine a review is required.

LETTER: Highway Robbery *** begin quote *** I am fed up with the unconstitutional machinery of government system operative in this state, and in ALL others, by which government, fraudulently, and deceptively, coerces, under threat, Sovereign American Citizens, against their will, into participating with the state Motor Vehicle Department, which regulates "driving", "drivers’ licenses", plates and insurance. Rights guaranteed in the Constitutions may not be controlled, legislated, manipulated, limited, restricted, denied or taxed, in any way. However, in this country, if the Citizens do not know, claim, demand and enforce their Rights, then they have none. *** end quote *** I agree. Nothing like a good rant to stir the blood. Why have we ceded to the gooferment (I like the CIC’s word so much, I plagiarized it!) The roads? Why don’t we have insurance companies administrate license plates? Why don’t the gasoline companies build the roads? Everyone’s always griping about the profits. Why don’t we try private roads? I’ll bet they will be better and cheaper than the State’s. And, not some namby pamby public private partnership. Just flat out public auction in one State of all roads. Talk about the buzz over the 700 mhz spectrum auction, this would be huge! |
And that’s the last word.
