just wondering what they'd have thought of Thatcher had they met her. Seems like it would have blown out of the water the idea that a woman could be above men. Not that Thatcher was a great politician, only that she'd be on about the same wavelength as East Texas with regards to oppressive political ideology.

I'm trying to remember if I've seen footage of donkey basketball. If so, it would have been on the wonderful show we had back in the 1970s, 80s, and 90s called The Eyes of Texas. Look it up on YouTube, especially the older versions with Ray Miller

I have had this vision for some time, further encouraged by the FCC's desire to make free broadband access to all Americans. That is, with the advent of such a plan, people could finally live literally wherever they wanted, telecommute to any place in the country, and revitalize rural American in ways unheard of now.

One huge influence would be on the local politics. Just think what that could do to all these isolated RW towns...
