Condensed, unreadable?

It's nothing but a formatting issue, SA. Your 
contributions are valuable, for sure.

At the risk of clutter, here is the way one of 
your recent posts came through.  As you can see, 
its mostly an issue of the absence of 
line-breaks, an issue undoubtedly connected to 
your mail-clients options, not to your intent or oversight.

It's not a wonder anymore.  We are all 
awakened.  Now we want to do something about 
it.  We will get cabin fever and we will be doing 
something.  If steps are taken with those in 
authority that relieve this itch that most people 
have, then the steam will be let out and people 
will feel people as long as we see these relief 
efforts are doing something that changes the 
status quo.  I'm not talking about introducing 
relief efforts in the form of bailouts, I'm 
talking about efforts that rid the fat, the 
excess, the crap that propped up by immoral 
behavior.  Namely, greed and this control that 
this culture has on so much of our daily 
routines, such as both parents have to work for 
the most part to get by.  The issue is 
centralized on finances and the finance grip on 
how families have to pattern their lives.  How 
many day cares have pop up in recent 
times?  Many.  woods, SA --- On Wed, 10/1/08,
