"Not inconsiderable" is a nice turn of phrase but I'm not sure I'm smart enough to understand it, especially when my not inconsiderable is more in abeyance. Oh that people would really talk like this and enjoy the language! BTW, please post your poem/video here as I thought it quite good and others might wish to see it (u-tube).C. E.

Growing up in Missouri, I assure you he was beloved by many during that time in '72 and long after.

I tried some tongue-in-cheek lines, like people repeating over and over that their memory wasn't impaired. Too subtle?<BR/><BR/>Sometimes I think I have no humor but dark humor, which corresponds nicely to black bile, i.e. melancholy.<BR/><BR/>When Eagleton resigned in '72 (I think he's since passed), why was I so intrigued in the story at age 17? Likely because I knew something about myself that I didn't consciously know yet.C. E.
