my ideas lost

I feel very sad this morning. I'm sure most of the world is happy. I'm proud of my country for being willing to elect a black man as President. This is a very good step towards healing the sins of our past. I just wish that the expansion of abortion was not at the top of his agenda. The pro life movement just got set back 30 years. I accept the will of the people but I can not celebrate. I'm broken hearted. Elections have consequences. This was never about one person above another person. It was always about the court. I’m sure most Americans have no idea what kind of change they just bought. I can hope Obama will rule from the middle, but this has never been his history. John McCain is a very good man. I am so sorry the shadow of Bush was so dark that many simply could not see past that. I will trust that God is in control of this decision. God is good. I’m OK with this thought. God is always good.

I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

The Opel Agilia

I think I don't want to spend the money for the VW New Beetle. It's a very cute and safe car, but cost about 17,000Euros new. I can find it for 13,000Euros (this is the most basic model) but that's more then I would want to spend. I don't really drive that much. I'm pretty cheep at heart. I need real value for my money. I keep thinking we really should take advantage of the money Germany is offering to trade old cars in for 2500Euros towards a new car. If I buy a car that's around 10,000 Euros, then the Government is actually going to pay 25% of the cost of that car. That's really a very good deal. Since I know I will need a new car in the near future, I feel I should get a new 10,000 Euro car. The Opel Agilia is around 9,900 Euros. It's got 5 doors, and room for 5. It is pretty safe, and comes with a 6 year warranty. I would not call it my dream car, but I could easily afford it. I'm trying to be wise here. There are other cars in thi
