Both of the above, with the added factor of a significant dumbing down,
by intent is my opinion, of the quality of education.  Our 'news', at
least what is available on cable and satellite appears to be simply
gov't propaganda.  Some of the print media is still trying to do whta
thye should. I know how saying this sounds, but you are seeing the
results of this great social engineering process, when you ask if
people are asleep or whatever.

It is sad to see diversity and customs being subverted and turning us
into one large homogenous mass of ......something.

My god, you should experience the state of the youth in this country,
in general.  It is sad.  Cripes, I sound like my father sounded!  ;-)

Am I correct in assuming you age or compost it?  As you know there was
a discussion of this a while back in rec.gardens.  I've always been of
that opinion, and only add fressh **** to the garden in the fall so
that it can do its thing over the winter.  The compost pile
