277. Yup.
I have never voted for a republican for president, ever. I remember the sixties and everything since that has come of having one flavor of government and the other. I lived in CA when Ronnie Raygun was Governor and again when Brown was Governor the last time too, it was a world of difference... essentially like going from a total police state to something far more palatable-but I still can't live there.
My current situation is much like yours, that is when I can get something relative to my education, which is rare. So I manage sandwich shops or run hotel desks, clean rooms, operate heavy equipment or whatever I can find down in tourist town for a paltry sum during the season and try to make it through the off seasons the best I can. Glad I don't live in a heavily populated area, don't think I'd have even half a chance of keeping a roof over my head or anything else. Keep hanging in there though, it's about all we can do while trying to get the folks who should be representing us to notice that we are still here and teach those younger than us that things have been worse but not since we were really young and that we all have a stake in this thing... not that it was ever easy street at any time. |
