[MD] Quality in the Balance, Part 1: Semantics

[118]

Hi Mike,
You mean Bezerkly?  My brother went there in the '70s, you have never
seen more displaced people looking for a cause.  No more sex, love,
and rock'n roll.  Guns anyone?

Hasn't changed from what I gather from my nephew who lives in The
City.  Lots of rich, lots of poor, and now lot's of traffic.

I spent a weekend in the Redwoods last week in a place called The
Bohemian Grove.  There was lots of deal making, political coniving,
and sacrifices going on there.  A fun place to go and relax
nontheless.  I think that it is the abundance of oxygen.
