Are you optimistic or pessimistic about the future of Iraq?

I do! I do! The biggest joke is that most lobbyists are lawyers!

Volunteer, natch. Most paid lobbyists are scum (and lawyers).

(just funnin' ya, Rodger - lots of lawyers in my family. My aunt was a Federal Judge.)

I was then, and am now, the official "gun lobby" in North Carolina. The difference is that now I run the organization instead of being a foot soldier.

I really am leaving now! Bye!
