My grandfather was in France in WWI and he absolutely would not talk about it. I only discovered he was there when I found a small wooden shoe in their attic one day while helping my grandmother clean house. She told me he was in France and would not talk about it. There was an old gas mask in a big box she later showed me.

On the Bush/Kerry front, the company our son works for took away the health insurance for all but actual employees this past year. They may insure their families but it comes out of their pay checks, i.e. a huge salary decrease. Anyhow, our son said, "A vote for Bush is a vote to increase poverty." He didn't think it was a particularly effective campaign slogan however accurate it might be!

Wonder if Bill Gates has health insurance?! (Probably doesn't need it.)
