    Ward,

    Sure. I just wondered why mentioning Arkansas ... showing it's part of
    the developed world? (trying to be funny, seems not to work)

    Well, if you go by the sequence from the Looney Tunes Cartoon, "Hillbilly Hare" (where Bugs Bunny calls a square dance, and has two hillbillies from
    the Ozarks, beat the crap out of each other), you have to wonder. <G>

    As a side note, the director, the late Charles (Chuck) Jones, was at one time, a square dance caller...and he was the Grand Marshall at the first National Square Dance Convention, held in Riverside, California, in 1951.

    And then, there's the sequence in the 1986 movie "End Of The Line". Two grizzled railroaders (played by the late Wilford Brimley and the late Levon Helm), who had lost their jobs, because Southland Railroad was going into
    air freight, at the direction of the son-in-law to the former president
    (now the chairman of the board)...the son-in-law preferred planes to trains.

    Well, as they are headed toward Chicago in this diesel locomotive, the exchange went like this:

    Leo: You know, Haney, I was taking a shower the other day. And, I was
    trying to remember the Pledge Of Allegiance. You know, the American one??
    And, Hell...I couldn't get it to come to me.

    Haney: Well, sir...grade school was a long time ago.

    Leo: Yes, sir. That's what kept me out of high school.

    When I was working in silkscreen printing 35 years ago, one customer
    came in with a deal on muzzle loading and deer hunting (hunting is a
    big thing here in Arkansas). Yet, he had muzzle loader spelled as
    "muzzel loder". The artist and I "corrected it"...and the customer
    had a fit. The owner of the company was standing right there, and I
    blew a gasket.

    I growled "And, they wonder why Arkansas' literacy rate is the lowest
    in the country!! Stuff like this makes us look like a bunch of stupid,
    dumb hicks!! If it would've said on the order that 'he wanted it that
    way', I would've have said a word!!".

    A former BBS Sysop in the area referred to the state as "Sasnakra",
    which is Arkansas spelled backwards. This was when they said that
    "gambling was illegal"...yet, they allowed betting/wagering on the
    horses at Oaklawn Race Track in Hot Springs...and on the greyhounds
    at Southland Park in West Memphis. Basically, it was "a double standard".

    Many Arkansans (before Arkansas got their own lottery) would travel out
    of state to Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi, to
    play their lotteries and casinos. That meant a bunch of money going OUT
    of Arkansas.

    I rarely play the lottery, but when I do, the max is ususally $5 a
    month, and on the scratch tickets. I've lost far more than I've won,
    and I have about the same luck in the Casino Games on the BBS.

    August 15 marked 44 years since the family moved to, and settled in Arkansas...my late father's job transferred him and us here from the
    Miami, Florida area to Little Rock, Arkansas.

    Ward,

    So you've known governor Slick Willie ?

    Not personally. There used to be a restaurant in the former Missouri
    Pacific Railroad Depot just west of downtown Little Rock called "Slick Willy's", but I don't think it had Bill Clinton in mind. You could go
    there to play pinball and video games, watch sports on the big screen
    TV's, eat and drink (I chose pizza and root beer, but still got "carded"
    <G>).

    Ironically, one of my users on the BBS, and also a fellow ham radio
    operator (I gave him his Technician exam) is named Bill Clinton, but I
    can assure you he's NOT the same one that was in The White House for 8
    years. He also ran a BBS in the Little Rock area many years ago.

    At least it's not like the joke where the guy went to apply for
    disability. He didn't get as much as his wife thought he should've
    gotten, and she scolded him, saying that "you should've let me come
    with you, and I would've told them to have you drop your pants and underwear!!". <BG>

    I could say something else, but discretion is the better part of
    valor. <G>

    I believe that those who are complaining about voter ID, are ones that
    want to vote more than once (lying, cheating, and stealing), and they
    don't want to get caught. Well, The Good Book says that those who do this
    won't be allowed in Heaven.

    Plus, I treat voting like prepping for a colonoscopy. It's a crappy
    process (for the stink of what's running), and I want to get it over with...puns intended.
