This is not going to go down well with the majority of Australians. They're ready for the troops to come home. Cheney is also going to Tasmania to do some fishing. Not with a shotgun, or so we're told. There's a lot of jokes passing around down under that Cheney is actually going to Tasmania to find a new home, so he can escape Washington and the US before everything comes down around his head.

never thought of myself as “sunny” or “positive” … sorry…

actually, the way i explain it is, i lean towards pessimistic, but that’s such a downer, even to me, so i call it realistic, leaning to the negative…
that way, when something good happens, i get a nice surprise… :-)

i understand – and especially appreciate – your warning about not letting all this make me “cynical or pessimistic”… i admit it all gets to me -
HOW COULD IT NOT? – but i know when to take a break and keep from getting too down and deep…

i am optimistic enough to hope that someday i won’t have to worry so much and these first years of the new century will be a bad memory and, AND, a lesson learned, a lesson to remind future generations what NOT to do…

but really, i am at least NEAR tears most everyday…

I’m going to do a dangerous thing and make an assumption…
