You might try, uh, I do n't know, hold it down a little longer, and see if it, uh,", "Okay pause > > Well, Does it usually make a recording or s,", "Well, I do n't remember. It seemed like it did, but it might not. I guess I guess we can start. Uh, No, I do n't, I do n't have any kids. I, uh, my sister has a, she just had a baby, he's about five months old and she was worrying about going back to work and what she was going to do with him and the different, do you have kids?", "I have three. Yeah, I do Yes, uh, I do n't work, though, but I used to work and, when I had two children. I work off and on just temporarily and usually find friends to babysit, but I do n't envy anybody who's in that situation to find day care. But, does your sister live in a big community?", "Uh, yeah she lives, it's a, it's a fairly large community. She, uh, got real lucky, though. He had a boss who, uh, moved into a larger office and she's able to take her baby to work with her. And it's a small office that she works in and, uh, it's a, it's a legal firm, office, and it's just one lawyer and so she's the only one really that takes care of the office. There's no one else that works there. And so they have an extra room and everything for the baby, so it works out pretty good for her.", "How lucky I, I know a lot of people around here sometimes have, like, mothers or grandmothers that take care of their kids and, but, the community I'm in is not a real large one, so there are a lot of people who babysit in their homes that, you know, you either know them or know somebody who knows them to get to,", "Yeah, so it's fairly safe.", "Yeah, to get references and that, so, but, uh, I, I d, do n't feel comfortable about leaving my kids in a big day care center, but, simply because there's so many kids and so many", "Worried that they're not going to get enough attention?", "Yeah, and, uh, you know, colds and things like that get spread real easy and things, but, and they're expensive and, course, there's a lot of different types of day care available, too, you know, where they teach them academic things. Or they just watch them and let them play and things like that, but, take a long time to find the right place", "Yeah, and you, and you do n't always even know if it's, it's going to be the right place or not. Anything, I guess, could happen. Because after, I guess after he, you know, gets to a certain age she's going to have to take him to a day care.", "Uh huh, when he starts toddling around and stuff.", "When, when he's not, when she ca n't keep control of him and he starts crawling that's,", "Uh huh. It would be hard, I think it would be kind of stressful. It would be nice to have him around but, uh, seems like, you know, goll, what if he cried at the wrong time or the phone rang or, you know, at the wrong time", "I think she has problems with that, too.", "Uh huh. Well, when you have kids, will you work? Do you", "I do n't know that's something I've considered. Uh, I always kind of think it would be neat to be able to watch them and be there for them all the time. Is that what you do?", "Uh, yeah. Actually, I teach my kids at home, so I'm here all the time.", "Oh, so they do n't go to school. Is it like, uh, oh, what's that called, it's, uh, correspondence school, they do it Do you have to have any special training?", "Not, it depends on the state you live actually. Some laws absolutely prohibit it. Some states, uh, say that you have to be a certified teacher in order to do that. Our state does n't yet, say that and I'm not a certified teacher. I went to college, but I, you know, but my kids are only elementary grades, levels right now and so,", "So they have n't been to public schools at all.", "One of them was for a couple of years and so, you know, my oldest, he was, and then my youngest two have never been.

How about you?", "Uh, no, we're not being tested for drugs at all, uh, our policies and procedures manual, uh, the furthest it goes about drugs is in the, kind of the miscellaneous section, or it's reasons for immediate dismissal, it says, use of narcotics on company premises. So that's pretty general, but, uh, I work for an environmental management firm and I'm an engineer there, but I do go on a lot of hazardous waste sites, but I do n't operate any machinery. Now, people for our company that do operate machinery like drill rigs and things like that are under a, a medical monitoring program, because they're at a higher risk of exposure and blood screening is part of that and I, I think that drugs, they do test for drugs in that capacity, but it's not their exclusive, it's just part, it's just something that turns up in the other parameters that they test for. But I think it's got a little more relevance since they are around dangerous equipment and things like that and do have to exercise some quick judgment in the field. What is the nature of your company's business?", "Well, it's actually, uh, we do oil well services. So, a lot of our clients are oil companies, big oil companies, and they go out to, we have engineers who, uh, go out to the oil well, to the, to the client's oil well, and, and work with a lot of heavy equipment and put tools down the oil well and stuff, so the clients are very concerned that, you know, the engineers who go out there are adhering to their drug policy, because they're on their, their, you know, territory and everything, but the thing that's interesting is that I w, I'm an engineer and, a software engineer and I work in the software, uh, house, and everybody there, you know, are all software engineers. They've never, you know, they never go out to the, the oil rigs or anything, and yet, we're getting, we're subjected to this policy, you know, the same one that, uh, th, all the engineers have to, to, well, a little different, actually, but, uh, you know, we have to go through the same thing, and it's, but it's, uh, it's a little different, I guess than than a lot of drug policies. In our case, it's like, when you hire on, they'll test you, and then if you get injured on the job, if you like trip and fall or something, uh, they give you a drug test right away. Other than that they do n't have random testing or anything like that, but, a lot of people were really upset with the policy at first. Particularly, like uh, we have a lot of parties and stuff where they serve alcohol, and tha, they did n't find any problem with that, you know, but,", "We, that's been an, a, an issue, uh, in our company even though we do n't have the random or even regular drug screening. ( ( In fact ) ), they'll have these little parties, and people will just get, I mean, I've, my brother lives where I work, and I have many a time called him to come get me, you know. And, uh, uh, but, y, you know, they do n't think twice about serving beer by the keg. You know, but, uh, I think drug testing, and I, I do n't know, I guess I k, I think it's got some relevance, but I think its relevance is pretty limited. I mean, I think, you know, in your case, I do n't think that you should necessarily be subjected to drug testing. I think that's an interesting policy your company has about testing immediately after an on the job accident.", "Yeah, it's really, it's really bizarre. Uh, particularly, like where we are, you know. I, I, there was a story of a woman last year who, who actually did slip on the ice and, and like sprained her ankle and she, she was a personnel secretary and she had to get tested and, I do n't know I'm ambivalent about the whole thing. I, you know, I have a lot of mixed feelings about on the one hand, it's like if, you know, they're, they should be able to make it as a continue of employment in some sense and, you know, it's like you're, I mean, employments are contractual by nature anyway but, uh, I had an experience when I was interviewing for a job that, where I had to, uh, uh, do a drug test and, and it's, it was kind of a long story, but it was, it was just an incredibly humiliating experience what I went through, and it amounted to, uh, going in, uh, before any of these interviews, I'm not even working for this company, I'm going in for, like, interviews and they flew me out to Chicago and, and, uh, before I went into any of the interviews, uh, they took me to the doctor to give me a physical. They said it was going to be a physical, you know, and, uh, actually bec, beforehand they told me they were going to, uh, do drug screening, but I had forgotten about that, and so, basically, I'd already peed off ( ( in ) ) that morning and, and when I got in there, I did n't, I was n't, like, able to give a full sample, and so they made me sit and wait for forty five minutes, drink a whole ton of water"]}

The only thing I do now is, uh, put the data into Quicken. I do n't know if you are familiar with that.", "Yeah, I have some friends of mine who use Quicken and, uh, I've considered using it once myself, but I decided that the amount of information that would have to go in would be a lot of time keeping that up to date. So I, I kind of gave up on the idea of using Quicken, at least for now.", "Um. I've found it's the only reliable way to keep a check book balanced actually because what will happen is my wife will write a few checks and then, well, uh, uh, not bother to total it and then it comes in to doing all the arithmetic. So it really helps with that.", "Yeah, well, it's similar problems but, uh, we just have the one check book and we try to keep it up to date as much as possible and occasionally we will get behind like you say but, uh, it does n't really seem to be too, too tight if we just remember to keep everything up, up to date and balanced. Well, how to you handle that, the long range or medium range planning on finances?", "Well, actually we have n't had to. Uh, until just recently. I guess we've got a, a daughter who is eighteen months and another one on the way so we needed to start doing more of that just for, uh, you know, saving for college and things like that. We tried a way, try to put away two and four thousand a year just for that.", "Yeah. Well that's pretty good if you can do that. I know. I have a daughter who's ten and we have n't really put much away for her college up to this point but, uh, we're to the point now where our financial income is enough that we can consider putting some away for college, so we are going to be starting a regular payroll deduction in the fall and then the money that I will be making this summer we'll be putting away for the college fund.", "Um. Sounds good. Yeah, I guess we're, we're just at the point, uh, my wife worked until we had a family and then, you know, now we're just going on the one income so it's a lot more interesting trying to, uh, find some extra payroll deductions is probably the only way we will be able to, uh, do it. You know, kind of enforce the savings. But, uh, it will be interesting to see ( ( ) ).", "Well our situation is just a little bit, kind of the opposite of that cause my wife was not working for some time and was going to school and just recently, uh, took on a full time job, well almost full time. So, it's only recently that we've had the money where we could start putting away large sums of it for, uh, long range goals like college and sickness and travel and that kind of thing.", "That sounds good. But, uh, uh, I was just curious, what, uh, part of the country.", "How about you?", "Uh, Cincinnati, actually. I was kind of wondering if they would be collecting people with, uh, the western accents or something like that. I do n't know how many people are, uh, getting involved in this but uh, well that's interesting. I'm, uh, uh, actually, uh, I was kind of interested if you found out about the study by, uh, reading TELECOM DIGEST or was there another?", "Uh, a colleague of mine at, uh, work got some information over, uh, the computer network called INTERNET.", "Oh, okay. Yeah, that is how I got it as well but, uh,", "And he just forwarded that on to me and, uh, it sounded like it would be an interesting project to participate in so I", "Yeah, it will be interesting to see what,", "sent back ( ( ) ) mail.", "It would be interesting to see how the data base, ( ( ) ) so, well, I guess we're talking about the experiment. Uh, probably need to try to get back on the topic but, uh, it's hard to talk about finances without without getting to, uh, dollar figures I guess you know, we could talk about some of the long range goals and,", "Well what other long range goals do you have besides college?", "Uh, well I think, either my wife or I would like to pursue advanced degrees at some point uh, I guess we will have to factor that in if we are not working for employers that happen to fund that. It seems like every year my employer just gives back, you know, a little bit your tuition reimbursement."]}

What they do is they have, uh, three judges, basically. And you get up there and the prosecuting attorney presents his evidence and your defense attorney presents their evidence and those three guys take the evidence, go off, figure it out and then come back and say whether you're guilty or not.", "Ou, ou, our judicial system is in such total chaos. I think what they need to do is, they need to somehow take the money out of it. I mean, when you have a man that's signed a, a, a statement saying he's guilty, we have a, a family called All day family. They were all murdered. All the people signed confessions, they went to a trial by jury. They been trying these people now for twenty two years, ever since I was a child. And what they've done is they've bought Mercedes after Mercedes after Mercedes is what they've done, has nothing to do with justice whatsoever.", "Well, you know, it's, it's one of those things, I mean, uh, uh, I would have to look at it. I, if they did it with the, uh, just the judges, the police have to do a lot better job of making sure that their evidence is airtight because the judges sitting in that kind of stuff day after day, they know all the procedures, they know what's good and what is n't, they'd be able to say, I'm sorry, you ca n't use this as, uh, evidence, you know, because it was either illegally obtained or whatever and, you know, you would n't have this, uh, uh, theatrics where the lawyer jumps up and presents it to the, to the jury and then the judge says, oh, no, d, disregard that. Come on, any jury's not going to disregard the evidence, you know", "Uh, that's true. I, I, I think our judicial system is attorney welfare myself.", "That may very well be.", "I, I hold it in the utmost contempt. The, uh, d, my favorite is the police department, they're not aimed at the criminal. The judicial system is aimed at the citizens because you and I, we have work schedules, we can be called at work, we have Social Security numbers, they can trace us down, we have telephones, then we have checkbooks. Criminals have none of these things. They're real difficult to catch, and if they do catch them, they do n't get any monetary gain out of it, whereas us, we write a check. So where do you think they target their efforts?", "That's true. ( ( You d ) ),", "They target their efforts toward the citizens not the criminals.", "How would you go about changing it?", "You know, that's a, I've nailed the problem down but I,", "Leave the details up to somebody else, huh.", "Yeah, I'm going to have to leave those details like, what would you do about, I think, to begin with, you would h, you would have, like, here in Atlanta area, our crime rate is just astronomical, yet, you go out on the streets and they're giving speeding tickets. I think somehow you have to separate the revenues from,", "Well, you know, uh, talking about the lawyers, you know what might very well do, uh, cause a, uh, a drop in the number of lawyers and things like that, is to set the fees for cases. It's kind of like do it, do it in the similar vein similar, like, uh, V C R or television repair. If you take your T V in, a lot of these T V repair places will say, well, I'll repair your T V for a hundred dollars, and if he gets in there and starts rooting around and finds something in there that's really tremendously wrong with it, then he eats it. He, he repairs it, gives it back to you, and takes your hundred dollars. Now, if he comes in and says, you know, I'll repair your, your V C R, or somebody else's V C R, for a hundred dollars, gets in there, maybe it's a blown fuse, takes him two minutes, he fixes it, he still charges you that hundred dollars. So, maybe if we did that with the lawyers, so that, you know, whether it's a murder case or a, you know, a civil, uh, somebody suing somebody else, you get X dollars for that case and that's it. None of this,", "I firmly believe in that because when you get the most heinous of crimes, have you ever noticed you always get the most renowned defense attorney? And here's this bum that did n't have a job and he's got a attorney that you and I could never afford. paying for that?", "Um, y, well, you, you know, you're talking to part of them that's paying for that", "Yeah, and you're talking to the other half that's paying for it", "That's right. You know that's, it, it's, it's amazing and, and when you stop and look at it, I mean, the judges, th, they're all former lawyers.", "Yeah, well, that's another problem. I think to really correct the judicial system, you have to get the lawyers out of it"]}

My, uh, uh, wife's grandmother had Alzheimer's and they were going to put her into a, a nursing home and, uh, they, when they put her in, she had all kinds of trouble and the nursing home made them come and take her back because she was being a, a, you know, a, a nuisance. Or worse than a nuisance, I mean", " ( ( Oh ) ) they thought it was too much of a bother.", "she sort of went, you know, bananas and they could n't, could n't deal with her So, I guess you need to, uh, know whether it's a, you know, a no deposit, no return kind of thing whether", "Right. If they're equipped too, to handle the kind of patients you're going to have you know, put in there too. Because I know my grandparents wanted to have some independence still. They wanted some place they can go and have their meals and a nurse on staff just in case they needed her but they wanted to be independent as well. Have their own room.", "My grandmother actually was in a, a nursing home that, uh, there was a retirement hotel and then a, uh, there was some sort of full time care place that was also associated with it so for, uh, the first few years she had her own apartment and, you know, made her own meals sometimes. But could, could also go and eat someplace else. And then, uh, as she became less able to take care of herself, then she moved into this other part that was able to, uh, provide full time care and, uh, she did n't have to do anything anymore. But my experience has been that most people that move into nursing homes die very quickly. And that's som, I do n't know whether that's because they, you know, sort of give up hope once they get in there or what the, the reason is. But I think the average length of time that somebody lives in a nursing home is only like six months or something.", "Well a lot of it's probably to do with the fact that people go to it because they need help. They need health care so they're already ill before they go. That's probably a large factor.", " Yeah. If, if you can take care of yourself at all or have someone that can take care of you, then you stay where you are. Then you only go there as a last resort. Or people send you there as a last resort.", "Right, right. That's what my grandparents, it was just so that the rest of the relatives would have peace of mind knowing that if anything happened, there was somebody there for them. So that was their thinking. Somebody who would know what to do in the event of an emergency. And also so they could find someplace that they enjoyed while they still had choices to make. So they would n't be stuck going into just whatever nursing home was available at the time. I guess that's a problem too for people. Wait lists and all.", "Yeah, I guess.", " That, uh, you ca n't always get in when you want too and of course, you ca n't just sit around and wait.", "Right. When you need it, you need it", "And the money is also another issue. How you're going to pay for it. At that stage of life you only have so much money left and I guess it's not exactly fair for the younger family members to have to put it in their savings. I mean it is kind of fair, but it's also not fair because they have their own children to raise. So it's another problem.", "And you probably, if it were you, you probably would n't want someone choosing a place for you to live based on lowest price.", "Right, right. So, it, it's just so complicated anymore, I think People outlive their savings. And, with medicine being the way it is, you're extending life where sometimes the quality of living has gone down and they're not necessarily enjoying life anymore.", "Yeah. Well maybe that's the purpose of the nursing home is to have them go someplace where they can see that it's not worth continuing.", "It's just a shame that's the way it has to be. I think the retirement home idea's a nice idea. To go and find older people and with similar interests and someplace to stay and cause like if your spouse died, ( ( ) ) all alone, it'd be nice to go someplace with people similar to you. To have friends."]}

What do you think?", " Yeah and it depends on how, how sick the person is too. What you're capable of, like if you have a family to take care of, you know, of your own Yeah, uh, I would personally like it if my parents were to get ill, I would like to take care of them at home and if I had the money with some help. That's not always possible. But, uh, to the best of my ability, I'd like to do it until it gets impossible", "I think that's also where you're going to have a lot of people who are going to, it's there's not a choice, it's because, it's not economically feasible even to", " Uh huh faint > >.", "put them in a nursing home. So that, that option sometimes is not available if they do not have the, uh, either Medicare or insurance to cover it.", "That's true. Yeah. But I think nursing homes can be good. It just depends on what kind they are. You know, you need to check them out ahead of time.", "Yeah, and then there's also some that are set up for specialties uh, I know some. Unfortunately, some elderly have to go to or have, I guess it's Alzheimer's or where they wonder or, or, uh, confused or have some mental problem", "Yeah, that they're", "And you need a special nursing home for that. You need one that has a unit that's locked where they are not able to get out and roam around and you need people who are trained for that type", "Who know what they're doing with that.", "Yeah so, so there's different types of nursing homes I think.", "Yeah well, my, uh, grandmother's not really in a nursing home, but a retirement home that also has a nursing home sort of attached to it. And she really liked the idea of, of moving there. She's not ill yet but, uh, she worked there as a volunteer for about ten years and then she decided that, uh, she's eighty five years old, that eventually, you know, she she does n't want her family taking care of her and being a burden. She's very independent. So she's in this nursing home. It's out in the country and, uh, she really enjoys it right now because she does n't have to wash dishes or cook", "Gives her a little bit of her own independence but she still has, uh, a security there.", "Right. Some support. And then there's also, uh, sort of a wing for those people that do get sick and, what I like about it and I think she likes about it is that she knows everybody there now and then, so if she ever does become ill, uh, it will be like family around her.", "That's right and I I've seen some of them like that too and also they have a lot of, uh, activities going on for the ones", " Uh huh faint > >.", "who are more active. So it's not sort of like, uh, uh", " Uh huh faint > >.", "a sick place.", "No, she loves it. She has a great social life and she travels and, uh, it's in, in the ( ( very ) ) in the mountains and it's beautiful and, uh, I, I hope that I have something like that when I get older faint > >.", " Yeah I, I think, I think the, uh", "Uh huh faint > >.", "I think that the decision that needs to be made though on nursing home has to be a joint one between the, uh, elderly uh, person who's going in and the family that's going to be, uh, effec, effected by it", "Oh definitely it's,", "and, uh, you know, sometimes it can, those choi, those choices can be made in advance and sometimes"]}

I can send in a, uh, can send in a request for payment and they'll, uh, and they'll send me, ( ( you know ) ) a check for the amount they withheld. That's pretty good, you know.

You mean, not even your, your, your car insurance?", "Well, it, it got all screwed up because I had a high deductible on the health insurance, no fault here, and, and I had a high deductible on the on the, uh, on the c, car insurance and then s, you know, we just goofed up the medical insurance and the car insurance and stuff and blew it", " Oh, that's too bad.

Well, I was, I was, uh, originally chosen primarily, I think, because I was a young fellow and they tend to view the younger fellows as more likely to hand down a guilty verdict. I do n't know why. Something I picked up in a psychology class some time ago. Yeah, it's that the younger they are, they tend to be more conservative for some statistical oddball reason, and they kind of liked me. I looked conser, and all that stuff and they, I do n't know what they saw in me, but they saw it.

In criminal cases, I'd like to see the unani, unanimity remain, but in civil cases, I think a majority rule by, by jury would be sufficient.", "Well, uh, could you give me an example of a case where you think that?", "Well, in a criminal case, say one in which, you know, there is, like, say assault or some such. I think there ought to be a unanimous, uh, vote because by law and by constitution there must be proven beyond a shadow of a reasonable doubt that the person in question did this.

I've driven some, uh, Tauruses over the last couple of years when I've been on business trips. Uh, as rental cars. And I've always been very impressed with the Taurus. It's a really nice car. I think it's very it's a stylish car both inside and out. It's comfortable to drive. Uh, reasonable performance, and this is out in California where, where they do n't make a car that's got reasonable performance anymore. Uh, I've been real impressed with that. Yo, and I did n't realize that they were putting dual, uh, air bags in that car now.", " Ninety, yeah. Or, excuse me, the ninety twos. The ninety twos had dual air bags. This newest model. You could", " ( ( Oh, I think that ) ),", "get them with duals", "That's excellent. That's excellent because,", " Yeah. But the thing is that it's twenty thousand dollars. Actually, my, my wife and I are actually thinking, contemplating buying a new car in the next year and a half or so. So we're actually been looking around and thinking about things. We'd like to get like a oh, I do n't know. What do you call it? A dealer return type thing on a ninety two and ninety three or something like that you know. Year old ninety two or something like that.", "Uh huh. Sure. Those are", " See if we,", "yeah, that, that would be a good deal to go with.", "And the other thing we're looking at is the Saturns too. Because they looked really nice.", "Uh huh. What do you, what do you looking for in, in those? What, what attracts you to the Saturns? Or, or, of course, we've already talked, you know, the Taurus is safe. But wh, what kind of things are you looking for?", " Well, the Saturns you can get air bags in them. I do n't think you can get dual side air bags. But one of the, the two things that I'm really, the, the I'd say the most important thing is a car that's not going to fall apart. That does n't have problems. You set down. You look at consumer reports. We've been pouring over consumer reports and you just get so depressed for the U S auto makers when you do that. Because you see the reliability and the types of problems they have and, and the two cars that apparently are close to that. That actually have high reliability, the Taurus is one of the highest U S cars. And the other one is, are the Saturns. So those two things. And then, you know, we kind of want a four door."]}

Some, some local communities are very active in that, uh, in that respect and they do have bins set up.

Whether and, and I think that, and I know Massachusetts has, a bottle bill was passed and we have had a bottle bill for quite a few years now, and the majority of the incentive in recycling bottles probably, believe it or not, is just to get the extra nickel at the, uh, the store and not, uh, that's the majority of people that I know of anyways. Where people are n't really, you know, eco conscious. It's just the fact that it's something they have to do. And I'm not going to throw a bottle away, it's like throwing a nickel away.

But, and it's been pretty successful and people notice it as far as, uh, highways being, uh, you know, people would dr, have a drink of soda, instead of throwing out the window, they, they keep the bottle so it's, it's been a ecologically sound policy and, you know, as, as far as recycling your bottles in terms of trash and so forth. But more importantly, it's recycling reusable materials back into, uh, manufacturing. And that's the big thing, I think, that th, they try to promote.", "Right. I think here if they, uh, instead of just, you know, requiring that you put, put out the trash and stuff, if they could get some kind of rebate, those people who do put the stuff out, uh, you know, and separate it, have lower collection fee or something may", " Yeah, that's a good idea.", "people to separate.", "Th, there definitely has to be a motivation factor and I know that, at w, where I work, I work for a defense contractor. And there's a big push on for recycling, uh, paper materials, you know, computer output paper and also to decrease the amount of, uh, Styrofoam usage because of the, uh, the process involved in Styrofoam and, and the whole eco issue and that. And, and they're very proactive and, uh, matter of fact, they give you discounts if you use, uh, china wear rather than, uh, Styrofoam stuff, so. So, i, i, it's incentives like that that get people people more conscious of it. I think that's, that's what they need to do. Be more ( ( proactive ) ) like that.", "Uh, I know, uh, I believe it was last year that they actually collected the old phone books. Uh, usually have them come from ( ( ) ) you know, projects to collect old ones. Usually just get dumped out with the trash. And phone books are a large volume of annual trash.", "Yeah. They, they just, matter of fact, that, that reminded me of an article I saw in the pa, the local schools, you could send your phone book to your, uh, to, with your kid to school and what they'll do is they'll recycle it. Because there was an article or a story done awhile ago that, uh, trash, uh, the telephone books are the type of thing that do n't break down over a long period of time. A guy went to a d, a landfill, dug down five feet and, and pulled up a phone book from like nineteen sixty because they do n't, they do n't degrade over such a period of time.", "Well, part of the problem with recycling them in the past has been the covers are made with a clay based paper. They contain the glue and stuff and they used to have to take out all the, uh, pages and then cut the spine off to be able to recycle them. Now I think they've come up with some way of, uh, pulling the glue out."]}

Because if you look at economics across this country and statistics on who has the money and who the decreasing, uh, middle class in this country I think that that's, in my opinion, the case. So.

We used to go once a month, once every two months to visit some of the patients there. And we'd take, we have a two year old son and so we, sometimes we'd take him with us.

It's, it's a nice, uh, relatively nice environment but again, um, it must be depressing for the people who, who are, who are just e, e, essentially not able to take care of themselves in their own house but, but, certainly, uh, certainly have ar, ar, are, have retained all of their, uh, mental skills and so on.

Yeah and, and concerned that, in as much as they can be. I, I think sometimes, you know, I've noticed, uh, people asking for, uh, some of the patients asking for things, uh, just repetitively and, but things that are not reasonable, and so at some level the, the, the, uh, I'm sure that the, that the, uh, the staff l, learn what's normal for this person and so it looks to me like maybe their not catering to this person's needs is really because this person is just, you know, is just in a state where they do n't really need what they think they need, you know.", "Yeah. It, it's possible, I was thinking also that there'd be, there could be a fair burn out factor um, in just having to respond to people's needs where the needs are sometimes, depending on the person, not going to be what we would perceive of as rational need.", "Yeah. I'll tell you one thing though that'll, that, that I, I saw that was really nice. We saw a husband and wife, we used to see a husband and wife in there, uh, together and they were in the same room which not all husband and wives were but these two were. And when you walked into their room, they had brought all their furniture from their house", "Uh huh.

There's nothing, maybe a picture or two that belongs to that person and that's it. But this room, on the other hand, you know, they got rid of all of the sort of standard issue beds and dressers and this and that and they had all their stuff from their house and it looked like, uh, i, i, it must have been, it was nicer to walk in there and to talk to them and it must also give them a sense of, uh, uh, security and, and, uh, and, and, you know, s, s, uh,", " Yeah, I, I think part of what you're saying matches what I h, have read. I used to initially think that the only people who went into such residences were people who, uh, were adequately deficient in their abilities, uh physical or mental, that they could n't take care of themselves. But I also know a couple of people whose parents have gone into such things because I think they provide, um, a lot of social activities.

They could n't, uh, give him anything because they're not allowed to at school and everything. I was so furious. I, I quit that job and I stayed home for awhile longer.

I know. It's like about two weeks ago I was watching the Saints. And ( ( Morton ) ) Anderson kicked a sixty yard field goal. And it, it was beautiful, right down the middle.", "Oh, boy. He is tough, he has an incredible leg. Well, do you think they're, they're going to be able to make it this year, past the first playoff game?", "I sure hope so. I'm not sure, I'm not sure who they play. Right now I've got it narrowed down to the top four teams. It's pretty much going between Washington. They are undefeated. And, uh, Buffalo, New Orleans, and Chicago because Chicago has only lost twice and one of those was to Buffalo. And they beat the Saints. Their only time they lost.", "What do you think about, uh, Houston?", "Houston. I saw Houston play this summer in Memphis. Yeah. Uh, from what I saw they were playing, when I was at the game we sat right on the front row, right behind the Houston Oilers, and from what I saw the game Houston, Houston impressed me a lot. But my brother watched it on T V and said that Warren Moon was just having an off night, and if that was an off night I'd hate to see when he's on a good night.", "Oh, yeah, he's he definitely, uh, is one of the best I think.", "Yeah, the, their, their backfield is really impressive. Haywood ( ( Jeffreys ) ) and Drew Hill and ( ( Allen ) ) ( ( ) ), they really impress me.", "Well, they squeaked out a game on Sunday.", "That's right. Who, who did they play?", "They played Dallas.", "Dallas, that's right, That's right. I remember that now.", "So that was, I, I watched that game and, uh, that was, uh,", "Do you have a favorite between those two?", "Well, because I'm right here in Dallas I, I kind of pull for Dallas. Yeah. Well, also Houston is, uh, in Pittsburgh's division so,", " Well, that's true.", " I'll almost always root against them.", "I hate to say it but I hate Dallas", "That's okay Well I, you know, I, I was never really a big Dallas fan until we moved here and they just kind of grew on me.", "Yeah, I imagine. That's the way, I've never been a big Saints fan until the last year or two and they, they've actually started doing something. So, I've actually pl, paid attention to them. Well, do you know anything about the expansion teams they're thinking about bringing in?", "To tell you the truth I have n't paid too much attention to that. Um, what cities are they looking at?", "Uh, right now I think this Memphis, they're, they're trying to get the teams. And that's, that's where I was when I saw, uh, Houston play. Saint Louis is trying to get a team. Uh, Baltimore is trying to get a team, and there's some other city. I'm wanting to say Raleigh ( ( Durham ) ) but I'm not sure.", "You know, I think you are right. I think it is Raleigh. I think I remember hearing that.", "Uh huh. Because I know they've got a ( ( ) ) football team but I think it might be them.", "That would be fun. I'd like to see some more teams get in.", "I would, definitely. I think they are supposed to put two in by either next year or the year after. And right now I think Memphis and, it's Memphis and I think Baltimore have a really good shot at it. Because I know Saint Louis is much bigger than Memphis and when I went up there they were saying that Memphis sold more tickets than Saint Louis did."]}

You just do n't have any time to do anything. It seems like, Saturday you get get off, but Sunday you're getting ready for Monday. And if we get have a if we could have a thirty two hour work week, with that happen is that, for every four people we could give another job. And then that way everybody would have a three day holiday, okay. And that way that more, that would make a bigger market. We'd have, uh, more recreation. People would have time to do it. There would be less of a stress level. We'd have, we'd have less crime. We'd have to we'd have to build less prisons, you know, less police force.", "Yeah, it all makes sense to me. Although, there may be more crime. I mean if people have more leisure time. It's not clear. And that,", "It, it, that's, that's a possibility. One, one of the problems they're facing now, a lot of people now, is that the health insurance is that the small business ca n't, ca n't offer health insurance and it, it's too costly and what, what is happening is that they're on a policy where they have X amount of users in it, okay. So they get a specific rate. Well what happens is that if people start becoming having chronic illness and, and things like that, what happened and where they really have to spend out a lot of money for one particular, it's called a a group, well what will, well what happens then is that they cancel, because they just ca n't cancel an individual. So they, they have to cancel just like life insurance. They have to cancel everything. So what they do is that, that they cancel the insurance and then all the people do n't have any insurance coverage. But, I'm, I'm, you know, I'm, I'm satisfied with my job.

I do n't, I do n't like bosses that, that you know want to yell at you and you know are down on your back and all this and that. I, I just really ca n't deal with that so, What kind of, what kind of jobs have you done?", "Well, well, I do wo, uh, research in computer science and I've just been doing that for a few years now so uh, I, my job has most of the benefits I want. Uh, what I really like is, I like being, like they send me to conferences for instance, but probably not as much as I'd like but, uh, you know, that's just nice being, you know, having a company being able to give you time to do that sort of thing and sort of, uh, they also, a really important thing to me is when they, uh, they pay for continuing education. Like, I, I get night courses that they they'll cover right now and that's really good ( ( yeah ) ).", "Yeah, that's just great. You have what you might call knowledge power you know, when when you work at a company whether you know it or not, is that you're categorized. Some people can be let go and replaced like, uh, say, uh, a typist, uh, somebody who does data entry or answers the telephone or receptionist. But if you're a person who, that's doing computer type things and you have the, you have the knowledge, you know what the system you've revised and revamped the system, well then you're you're vital to the company and you get more benefits so. That's where I, I, I'm like, I'm into computers too and that's one of the things that I've found in any one, one of these jobs and anything I've done is that to have knowledge.

Most of them centered around, uh, drug territory. And so they're protecting their economic interests, I guess. And, uh, nowadays the latest thing I've, I've read about in the paper here that they're doing as far as, uh, crimes involving stealing cars is that, instead of stealing, uh, cars like at night, breaking into them or whatever, they will pick out a car that they want and wait until you show up, and then as you get out of the car, they just, uh, step up and, uh, take the keys off of you and drive the car away and leave you standing in front of your house.", "Well, that's efficient.", "Yeah, that's the, uh, latest thing.

So that's a good move on, on Gorbachev's part in doing that.", "but Gorbachev has still not fully convinced everyone that, he's moving towards a two to three party system of government that, nor eliminating or diminishing the Communist power, and I guess that's where Yeltsin steps in, so far as his politics of government goes, uh, but I do n't know how convinced the people are of him yet, myself.", "Well, that's all they got right now. That's their ray of hope. So, you know, they'll go with you know, whoever comes through for them. I, it, it's just that, the weird thing is, is that Gorbachev is the one that opened the floodgates, as far as with glasnost and poistro, perestroika and stuff, and I think he's got between the Old Guard and, in background > >, and the new, uh, glasnost. Uh, I think it's kind of escalated to a point where it's out of control. And I think he had to pull in the reins the only way he knew how, in order to keep the peace on, peace on both sides. So I think that's where you know, kind of where he's stuck. You know what I'm saying?", "Yeah. Uh, I understand.", "And that's the, that's the situation that he finds himself in, and you know, he's a tough guy, I mean, he's been through it So I have no doubt that he'll, I mean, I, I think overall he's been a, a good figure for the Soviet Union. I mean, I think his intentions and his ideals are, are uh, well intentioned. And in the long term, but I just think that because of the basic needs that the people do n't have, I think that, uh, makes the problem most severe, and makes him look, look worse that what his, um, what his ideals are,", "I agree. What's bad for the Soviet system is that they have the resources to grow and produce their food, but somehow it just does not get out to the market the way it should.", "I think it's, I think it's a lot of, uh, oh, how do you put it? bureaucracy and, and, uh, one thing, and then all the corruption. I think there's a, a large amount of corruption on the, the have and the have nots.", "Yeah That's probably more true than,", "You know, I", "a lot of people realize.", "I know you're going to have that with every society. At least we're more blatant about it, but it's very secret, and it's been going on for years. I mean, you ca n't change things overnight. And, but if it gets to a point where people ca n't survive, I mean, there's revolution. You know, and that's", "It seems to be headed in that direction too.", "Yeah big time major but you know, that's, that's what happens when, you know, the cork blows and you ca n't handle it anymore. I mean, that's that's the way the world, uh, you know, revolves that way", "and uh, I think that was a big stepping stone for them to initiate all their righteous ways of changing things, too. They, probably not enough, but I'm sure I lot of it's filtered down enough to the common folks that they have gotten wind of what they're missing out on.", "Yeah, I think they're starting to realize, but I, I just do n't think they have the resources, if you were to compare, uh, the Americans to the Soviets as far as home computers are concerned or fact machines, Fax machines and cellular phones, and state of the art equipment that we are so used to. I do n't think they even realize what's out there, and to what extent.", "Yeah, I'm sure a lot of them are missing those household items", "Yeah, the major conveniences of life", "Yeah what we consider just, I do n't normal everyday things to them is real luxury. Which is unfortunate for them, and of course, most of us, we do n't really appreciate what we've got because we've been so used to it.", "This is true. This is very true. And we, it's human, it's human nature though to take things for granted and it kind of, you know, when you've lost something or, or uh, uh, do n't have what other people have that's when you tend to realize, you know, what's out there and what, you know, what you have and what you do n't have.", "Yeah I agree", "So the original question, do we think they're a threat to our, you know, a security threat? Um, yes and no.", "Yeah, I can go with that answer too The only yes I could go to is if uh, a renegade crew decides to launch an attack or an accidental launching or something to that effect to, to a nuclear exchange, but I do n't even see that occurring. Uh, because their internal strifes are more important right now than concentrating on any kind of outside affairs that they used to be ( ( adapted ) ) to I guess.", "Well, I do n't really feel that the Soviets really want to blow up the world. I mean, um, we painted them back in the fifties and sixties as, as nonfeeling machine type people, and they're people just like us. I mean"]}

It's a small town and she happens to room with one of the doctor's mothers and", "Oh, well that's good.", "then she's got a lot of family there and that go and see her all of the time but she really does n't. Nobody thought she would adjust, but she has adjusted beautifully.", "Oh, that is great.", "But then I am also facing my father who is very sick and my mother and father reside in Colorado. She's been taking care of him. I do n't know how much longer this can last and at that point because he requires round the clock. He ca n't do anything without her. He does n't know when to take his medicine and it's really sad and I have thought if something would happen to my mother for, uh, my brothers are not interested in helping me so I would have to move him down here. That way, I want to see the nursing home. If I have to put him into one. You know, where I can go see it. I, I'd be very uncomfortable with him being in Colorado. And,", " Oh, why yeah. I am sure you have got some really good nursing homes around Dallas.", "Yes. And some of them are limited care too where people can do, uh, like they have apartment styles, but that would n't work for him. I think he is beyond that.

I, I know a lady that lives in a place similar to that in Austin.", "Yeah. Well, the only problem with these are that they are very expensive. Of course, I guess all nursing homes there is but,", "And the bad thing about it, before you can get any kind of government help, you just practically have, well you have to be a pauper. It, it takes every penny. They want you to spend every dime you have before the government will pay for your your care. And that's the sad part about it.", "Yeah. I, uh, yeah, and I think a lot of people who do it now. In Colorado it's interesting. I talked to my mother. They allow you sixty five thousand dollars and your car and your home. And my mother could make it on that. What she probably would do is disburse the money to me and then I would send it back to her so that's what would happen.", "Uh huh. I think that's what most people do. You just have to give it, everything away.", "Yeah.

So, what what is the E P A recommending now?", "Oh, they really did n't propose any solutions. Actually, they were, the guy was pretty negative about the things that the government was doing even though he was from the E P A. But, he had a lot of, uh, facts to, to give and, uh, things like how many solid waste plants were being shut down and, and, uh, one of the most interesting things that he was talking about was recycling of, of news print. He was talking about, uh, the City of New York and how they went and collected all this news print and they could sell it for a while. They were able to sell it for some amount per ton and now at this stage of the game where they have gotten into recycling, they've collected so much news print that they have to pay to have it hauled away.", "Right. That's a, that's a common problem though. That it seems, that has happened in Dallas as well as New York and I try to recycle all of the newspapers that come to my house and after a while I just quit taking the newspaper because I could n't recycle it anymore which is n't good for business on the other end either, I suppose.", "Yeah. We're doing some here in, in Cash Valley, the community here. There's, uh, we've actually got a kind of a nice set up. We've got a couple of plants here that actually take, uh, recycled paper and shred it and spray it with chemical treatment so that it's not a fire hazard and make it into insulation and they can actually use as much recycled paper as the community can get to them. Because they are actually buying it and shipping it in from outside.", "Well, that's good.", "So one of the real keys, it sounds like, to getting recycling for, uh, paper or something like that to go is to get some sort of business to actually want it once you have collected it.", "Right. There has to be, uh, a reuse for it. I mean, that's why they recycle. The one I think is the most interesting is with the recycled bottles and all that, uh, the industry seems to be doing with the recycled polymers. Uh, everything from, uh, waste baskets to carpet to the no stick, I mean the sticky slide rugs under the carpet and, uh, I think they are even putting it in the roadways these days and they're making clothes now that are recycled. Like the recycled plastic coke bottles and and milk cartons and things like that.", "And there was a paper presented at this conference from a guy from Alabama and he was kind of hired to do a study by two departments for the government. One was like, environmental protection and the other one was, oh, I ca n't remember what, but the basic idea, it was presented to him was how can we maximize the amount of energy that we can get back from recycling and minimize the volume of stuff that we are putting into our landfill and, uh, the solution that he came up with for plastics, and it was really quite amazing, he says, well the best thing to do with plastics is to burn them. He came to the conclusion, plastics is actually one of the biggest problems in landfills cause it's, it's low weight, but it's high volume so it takes up a lot of space and there's almost no energy, there's very little energy value in actually doing a lot of the recycling, but there is a lot of energy in it if you can burn it and use it, produce electricity. So his solution was to burn plastic. Collect it and burn it.", "Well, it's carbon so that makes sense, like a carbon fuel of some sort, but", "And it's more than even paper or something like that. There is more energy in it per pound or whatever.", " what about emissions?", "Well that was he did n't deal with that. He just said burn it. He did n't talk about cleaning it up or anything like that. So it's not very practical ( ( ) ).", "No. Well it's interesting.

Uh, before a couple of years ago, I had a, a very narrow view of, of nursing homes and it was, uh, more like a funeral home. I always joked around about it being a funeral home and not really a nursing home. And, uh, then I had to do some volunteer work here in Tyler, Texas and I went to one and it just had a very good activities director. Everyone was cheerful and now I do n't have such a bad view of nursing homes anymore. But I, I certainly would n't want to send my parent unless it was an absolute last re, resort. Uh, I have a sister that is in nursing school and she's real interested in geriatrics.", "Well, that sounds good.", "Yeah. So, uh, she, she's real interested in, uh, what Ann Richards has been doing. She's, Ann Richards is really cracking down on, uh, the nursing homes and, I do n't know, you would n't know anything about a Texas governor", "I've heard the name and that's about all it goes.", "Okay. Ann Richards is our governor in Texas and she's really cracking down on restrictions and what goes on in nursing homes. And, uh, my sister's real interested in that and, and getting into the, to that side of nursing.", "Yeah. That's one problem with the, the nursing home environment. It, the elderly, even out of the nursing home, are very open to abuse. Uh, you know, they do n't always have their full wits about them. They're not completely up on what should be going on or what's not going on. And it can be pretty sad. I've got a, had a grandmother who had a stroke. And she was in a nursing home for four or five years before she died. And, you know, it's the type of thing that she was living down in Florida. My in, families was up in Maryland and the other part of her family was up in, uh, New York state. And, you know, it was very difficult for either them or my grandfather to take care of her since she was, uh, you know, could not do very much for herself after the stroke. And, you know, the nursing home was the, you know, best facility to put her in. You know, besides moving her up which is not a practical solution since both my parents work and both my, uh, aunts and uncle work. Which means it's, you know, very difficult for some, you essentially need to have someone taking care of the person full time. And, you know, there's also a lot of medical problems that ca n't always be completely handled in the home. Which makes it, you know, it's a necessary evil I think.", "Uh huh. It sure is. And some of the really nice ones that really take care of their people are so expensive. Because cause they can afford to hire the people that are really going to care for the older.", "Yeah. And, you know, even there you have to watch out for, you know, you get one person who's a little bit dishonest working in there and, you know, the elderly sometimes have a lot of jewelry and other stuff that just very easily tends to disappear in the nursing homes.", "Right. My grandfather passed away several years ago. I was much younger. But, uh, he was in the nursing home the last several years of his life and someone visited him every day. My grandmother did. But, uh, if she could n't, someone visited him every day. It was in a very small town nursing home. And, uh, people did n't get paid much there at all. They did n't care about what went on. They would let a, let a patient get a lot of bed sores. And, uh, the, the people living in the nursing home would have all kinds of needs that would n't get met because they were just old people. And then, the nurses and doctors really did n't put any for, forth any loving care for them.", "Either that or they're just so understaffed that they ca n't afford to put in the, uh, care that they need. Cause it's, you know, an elderly person can, you know, it's like a newborn baby. You need to have twenty four hour care uh, answering all the needs cause they ca n't do much for themselves at certain points.", "Right. And nurses get so worn down.", "Uh huh. And, you know, there's a lot of, number of the elderly are very, you know, complaining because they remember the way that things used to be. And remember being able to do things for themselves which, you know, they no longer can.", "Oh, sure. And they feel", " And it, very, very hard for them to accept that.", "they feel pretty helpless.", "We just, uh, moved my grandfather into, not a nursing home but, you know, a transitional type facility.", "Is it, uh, like a retirement center?", "More of a retirement home. He's got his own efficiency apartment. And they provide one meal a day. And, you know, the rest of the housekeeping and other meals a day are up to him. But they do have, you know, group activities going on.", "How's he handling that?", "Uh, he'd much rather be living alone in his apartment down in Florida. Uh, you know, to move into that facility we moved him from Florida up to Maryland and it's, it's a bit of a shock to the system, weather wise, if nothing else.", "Oh, sure. There was n't anything like that, that you could do in Florida?"]}

Uh, anyway, the, our benefits are pretty good. We've got stock purchase program and a, that, that's pretty generous, although you have to hold the stock for two years before you get the company contribution which is, kind of a, a pain, but, uh, there's a four O one K plan uh, for, uh, sheltering some taxable income.", "How long have you been with them?", "I've been with them for seven years. And, the best thing, and a lot of the stuff, the best thing is like four years or five years, it's pretty soon, you're completely vested in the retirement plan and everything, so, uh, it's not t, but there's full, uh, th, there's several medical plans to choose from, uh, that cover pretty much everything. I do n't get sick that often, so I do n't pay much of it, b, and I pay five dollars every time I visit the, the hospital that, you know, for a checkup or whatever. Uh, they do n't cover eyes though, and I, I have contact lenses, so that's kind of a pain. But, you know, I", " But, for all", " I can live,", "practical purpose, you are almost a hundred percent covered.", "Oh, yeah, yeah.", "So that you've got small, small things to gripe about. Well, that sounds like you must feel really good about it.", "Yeah, yeah, and, and the dental plan is ( ( fabulous ) ). The dental plan, I pay absolutely nothing because, uh I, I guess they would charge a little bit if there was some orthodontia or something for one of my dependents or something like that that's not the case, so, I guess nothing. It's fabulous. Uh, the, what about you?", "Well, I, uh, work in Washington at the Naval Research Laboratory. I also have a part time job at a law firm and I get no benefits from them, ( ( at ) ) to the part time work although, they pay better per hour than my, my sort of, quote, real job does. Uh, and benefits, through the government are, uh, really, uh, they just, uh, they're not the greatest. Uh, I, before I, I, uh, uh, got my degree I'm, uh, c, a computer scientist and before I got my degree, I had, uh, done paralegal work for law firms here in Washington and, uh, at that time, I was in gravy city. Uh, the law firms in this town are not, you know, for a long time were just rolling in the dough in the early eighties and, uh, benefits were just amazing and we had everything paid for, and, uh, anyway, with the government, it's not, uh, quite that nice a deal. Uh, but it's, you know, it's, it's okay. What we have to do is, we have to pay, uh, about twenty percent of our, uh, uh, our costs and it's deducted from our check each month and that sort of thing, and the plans that are available to us, uh, range from kind of mediocre to really sweet and, uh, so I, I think I'm actually involved in a relatively good p, plan at this point. Uh, but, uh, it could be better, that's for sure, and, uh, but, you know the, there are other things that you get when you work for the government i, uh, in, in terms of, uh, more relaxed atmosphere. It's really nice to be, for me, anyway, to be able to work in, uh, a research atmosphere, uh, where I do n't have to, uh, uh, you know, worry about, uh, academics or anything like that, and, so I'm, I'm really kind of happy about that end of, of things. It's, uh,", "Yeah, one of the things with my company is that they've, uh, got a reputation for a lot of job security and, uh there's a lot of different things that they do, lot of different divisions even this area, in the San Francisco Bay Area that they do, so there's, I, myself have moved around quite a bit within the company and it's, and I, and I have n't had to move my residence to do that. You know, I still live in San Jose and,", "Wow, that's fabulous. You see, now that's, that's interesting, because I have a cousin whose husband works for Hewlett Packard up in the Massachusetts area.

I do know that, uh, politicians always talking out of both sides of their mouths. Uh, I let's example, uh, our friend, the President, right now, says no new taxes, we should and especially, if anything, be cutting taxes now because of the recession and at the same time, the budget he sent to Congress has tax and fee increases, so, uh, I know the politicians, uh, are n't, are n't straightforward. Now, i, in terms of economics I'm not, it's hard, hard to call. It really is.", "Uh huh. See, I never thought really, it's, uh, I never really thought that, that the, the question really had to do whether or not we're paying too much or too little. I, I always that the, the real question was is, are we getting a reasonable return on, on investment. For instance, like Social Security tax or Soc, uh, I mean, that's, that's tax we're paying money and, and supposedly this money is going into some kind of fund so that when it comes our turn to retire, the money will be there for us. So that's, yeah, you know, when I, when I see that money taken out of my paycheck each, each week, I, or each, every other week, I, I really think that money's history and you know, so as far as return investment, that's not, that's nothing and we're not even going to get the exact same number of dollars back. Uh, someone was telling me that there is a, uh, uh, there's still an office in, uh, you know, staffed with, with people there and, in D C that are researching to find a cure for polio, which, I may be wrong, but I believe that the cure for polio is already founded, but, but supposedly once you have an office in D C, or, you know, and, and staff it with people, it's really tough to close it down and, and they just have n't yet.", "Well, yeah, I'm not exactly sure, uh, about polio in particular. I know we have a polio vaccine come will prevent somebody from getting polio I'm not sure if we know what to do in terms of curing some who has already gotten polio.", "Well, that might be the difference. I do n't know. Uh, the other thing that, uh, I remember seeing on T V lately is, uh, had to do with, it's like seventy five percent of the historical sites in America are in the home districts of very powerful people politically that, that histor, for some reason, historical sites with, you know, the, the full federal money and everything seem to appear as, as almost as like political favors to, to very strong politicians.", "Yeah, it's, it's, it's funny because, uh, it was one of the things that Bush is trying really hard to get ahold of is the line item veto where, uh, you know, Congress is able to attach all kinds of, uh, funny amendments for individual, uh, c, congressional districts to the, to the main budget proposals and the poor President has, has to, uh, either accept or reject the whole thing.", "So, it sounds like you, uh, you think that, that we'd be able to save some money by, uh passing the line item veto.", "I, I think the line item veto is not, not, is not necessarily a bad thing, assuming that the, uh, the, the President, uh, uses it to get rid of, uh, this kind of waste. On the other hand, uh, it, it assumes that you have lots of confidence in your President not to veto important things. Uh, and just to get rid of the unimportant things. And whenever there's that kind of subjective judgment, there's always going to be a dispute as to, uh, where the exa, where the boundary between waste and, and necessity is. So I'm not, I'm not sure that, that that will help solve our problems, but there definitely is, is a problem with, uh, I forgot, there's a political term for this stuff, pork barrel or something.", "Pork barrel politics.", "Pork barrel politics. The, the, there has to be some way to do it. I know state governors usually have line item vetos and, uh, I lived in Massachusetts for a while and, uh, when Dukakis vetoed certain things, there was a big uproar and was n't necessarily so popular.", "Yeah, but Massachusetts was n't, when Dukakis was there, anyway, was n't in that great shape financially.", "D, at least at the end.", "Uh huh. I mean, I do n't know, I,", "Yeah, i, i, they were very good at first, they were in very good financials at first and, uh, that's part of the reason he became a nominee is because things went so well. And then, of course, the bottom fell out.", "It's, uh, I mean, it's, it's tough. I mean, there's, there's two ways you can kind of go to get out of tough financial situations. I guess you can like raise taxes and then create like job programs and whatnot or you can hope that if people keep their money that they'll spend more and create jobs and, and whatnot."]}

Uh, I guess nineteen ninety is when it start to drop off, and usually around the Christmas season is usually when the crime rate is a little bit higher.", "Yeah, I, that's probably not true only for Atlanta, but for just about anywhere.", "Yeah. Uh, what kind of crime problem do you usually run into? Any specifics", "Well, uh, the least, what, from what's on the news, uh, there are very few, like actual robberies reported, uh, uh, of, of residences. What's more likely to occur is, uh, robbery of, uh, you know, knocking over a, a small store or a car theft, you know, it, things of that nature. Very few, uh, assaults, although on the college campuses, uh, there are, uh, cases of, you know, like people getting machine from a, from an automated teller and, you know, somebody trying to, to device a scam for, for, uh, getting the money for them that actually preys mostly on foreigners. But mostly petty things and, n, no, nothing, nothing really too big.", "Right, well, I guess here we run into that sometime, but I guess a lot of crimes are done with apartment type break ins that type, not much home break ins. There are some, but not, not very high. Uh, as far as tellers and things like that, it's not extremely high either. There were one case where, uh, this one guy, uh, was taking women from the teller and, and, you know, making them give him money and stuff and then at the same time, raping them all, so, so that's kind of like a double assault there.", "Yeah, uh, a strange case that, uh, that happened, oh, it's about, about a year ago was someone actually stole a complete automated teller machine. It was a free standing machine and they backed up into it with a truck and put it on the back and drove away with it. Now, there's a crime for you.", "Yeah, there's a crime.", "Yeah, but, uh, I guess most of the things that happen around here are, are pretty, uh, innocuous. Although, uh, from what I hear in the news, and, and I, I s, saw an episode of the T V show, COPS uh, one time that was in Pittsburgh, and, uh, it, it, it did surprise me, because, you know, they were doing drug arrests and thing, and things like that, but I, I do n't really think those things happen too often because, like I said, from what's reported in the news, at least, it's, it's not all that common.", "Oh, okay. I do n't know, crime situations here, they, like I say, lot of, lot of cases is usually just apartments and, and break ins and things like that and a lot of it is due to drugs. Uh, drug related, you know, in, in most cases, it's not like, uh, it's someone do steal a, a or television or V C R or something like that it is for drugs, you know, because you really ca n't on the street make any money off of it per se, you know, you going to get ten or fifteen bucks for it so you really not making a sizeable profit. So it's not really lucrative to take chances like that, you know, even though it, it does exist.", "You know, I, just to diverge a little bit, uh, I live in an apartment. Right now I'm finishing out my last semester at the University of Pittsburgh and, uh, the apartment like would be very easy for just about anyone to break in But, even so, it, I mean, it's, it's still difficult for me to convince my apartment mates to, to like lock the doors when they go out you know, and things like Uh, it would be so easy for someone who is motivated to do so to just, you know, sit out back, take a look at when people are here and when they're not just come in, you know, there's a T V and a V C R and, they could, uh, they could get in pretty easy and, and especially, uh, since there are bedrooms upstairs and people leave the door open, you know, while they're upstairs playing music, it could still happen then."]}

It's, it's nice to hear someone's interpretation of it uh, I always think it's humorous when, when the President gives the State of the Union and, uh, for thirty minutes and then for an hour and a half you hear different commentators explaining what you just heard.

So I, overall, I think I would rather hear just straight reporting.", "One of the things that I found interesting last year during the, uh, the Gulf conflict was a sentiment against, uh, Peter Arnett, who had stayed in Iraq and was presenting, uh, some of the things that were available. Uh, there was a, there was, uh, a piece where he was showing a bombed out building where there was obviously a crudely, uh, uh, hastily erected sign saying baby milk factory, and while he was being severely, uh, censored and could not make any judgment call on this, it was fairly obvious that it was a piece of propaganda, but people were really down on him for reporting the fact that, th, you know, this is n't a baby milk factory, how could he say it was, uh, I, I think that, that to me showed that the Americans were really getting used to having the, not just the facts, but also the conclusions and opinions spoon fed to them."]}

What do you think? Is Pennsylvania kind of out of line there?", "Well, actually, I do n't think they're out of line. De, Devil's advocate possibly, but it, you are trying to avoid paying taxes and whe, whether or not you agree with that law, i, you're still circumventing it. You are legal in, in your circumvention of that law.", "What, what if you're not doing it in order to circumvent the law though? I mean what if you do n't even realize that you're subject to paying, uh, income tax on something that you purchase mail order?", "Really, I, I, I do n't think that's a valid argument.

Um, s, s, naturally some, some things you just ca n't find in your local K Mart or, or, uh, Bryn Mawr stereo dealer. Uh, but th, th, th, then why not pay, pay the sales tax ( ( ) ). Corporations have to, why should an individual just because it's, just because the state ca n't really find out about it, be able to avoid paying sales tax?", "Well, I mean, it seems to me that, generally, at least in my own experience, when I purchase something mail order, it's not to circumvent paying sales tax to the State of Pennsylvania. It's because, I'm sorry, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Uh, it's because I, I ca n't find the item that I want at a competitive price anywhere in my local area. So I go outside the area for that. And I think that it's not my responsibility to police myself and pay Pennsylvania what they believe they are owed even though, you know, the revenue stream went to another state. I do n't, I do n't think that that's my responsibility as a, as a conscientious consumer.", "I, I'll agree it, it's not your responsibility but, b, is it also legal, for you to do that? W, w, fr, from what I understand from v, v, various net readings, i, i, it, the Federal government is going to try to legislate a more aggressive enforcement of state tax schemes, uh, in, into place in the next few years. It is, it is a lost revenue stream right now and states c, can use all the revenue they can get. With some, with something like that, d, do your arguments still apply?", "Well, I think that if, if policy is established and if a mechanism is put into place to promote the collection of taxes in this fashion, then I do n't argue with it. Because it's not a burden on the consumer to remember that oh, I bought this out of state. I need to Xerox the receipt and make out a check for six percent and send it to Pennsylvania.", "Which is exactly what businesses do at the present.", "Right. But the point is is that businesses do that. The business that you purchase the thing from is responsible for collecting the appropriate sales tax and forwarding it to the state in question. That's a cost of doing business. The burden", " And I, I", "should n't be placed on the consumer.", "I was actually talking about businesses purchasing something mail order and then having, having to pay sales tax on it. That's my understanding of the way, uh, the way it works. Usually, the, the person ordering does n't pay.

And there r, there are s, some substantial, nasty penalties, um, if you, if businesses try to avoid that.", "Uh, do you mean businesses from the point of view as, of, of selling things to a consumer and then being responsible for the sales tax?", "No. Businesses, uh if purchasing things mail order, if, if I'm a computer consulting firm and I see these, this great deal on forty six mother boards, uh, from, from say Utah. Um, I, I might buy the mother boards from Utah but then still have to pay Pennsylvania sales tax. My a, accounting department will at the end of the month. I think that i, i, I think that's the way things work in Pennsylvania. And I know they work that way in, uh, say here in D C.", "Yeah. See I'm unfamiliar with that because I do n't, I never see that end of the business. So, my only experience has been from the point of view of a consumer. Uh, but, if that's the case, if the business is responsible for policing themselves, then I think some well defined mechanisms need to be in place so that, uh, the opportunity f, to forget that you owe sales tax for something, uh, can be avoided.", "That's true. I, i, a r, a big hole does exist right now, uh, in that consumers can just say oh, I, I forgot that. There, there is no well defined mechanism at all and, and that it is a a l, loss. I, I think is that the Federal government will try to establish a mechanism ju, just to do just that in or, in order to gain the revenue that's being lost. Uh, I mean, I, I do n't know if I agree with that. But it, but,"]}

You're responsible also for helping that company get to the par, point that it's at at making profits. So there should be something in there or some kind of clause that will subsidize people if they did lose their job other than, you know, uh, neglect or something like that. You know.

I do n't see how one or two people, maybe more one or two, but, you know, a number of people can, can be the downfall of com, a company situation.", "Now how do you mean that?

You know. That's just, that's my views, you know.", "Yeah. I've heard of a couple of companies that have done that. I think, uh, back about, a few years ago when things were tough, Hewlett Packard did that for awhile. They went to a, uh, a, a four and a half day work week rather than cut, yeah, just cut everybody back ten percent. And, uh, have to, give everybody a half day a week off.

Yeah, because my perspective is from an institution, uh, the, there is not much incentive for innovativeness because the limitation for reward is very severe but if you're in the corporate world, I think there is considerable motivation for I guess in, innovation, although he, you know, the more complex your structure the, uh, less difficult it is to kind of carry some things through but, uh, I think there is, uh, it's a long term type of process where in a small organization it's, uh, things can happen much more quickly and so you can see the reward of the efforts.", "I think probably in a small, yeah, I was going to say more, it's more personal for one thing.

Some of them did say that, you know, when they were the only one left opposing the verdict, uh, you know, everyone was getting on them so, so heavily that eventually they just gave in knowing that nothing they could do could stop it from either being the verdict everyone else was trying for or a hung jury because the one vote does n't mean anything except the ability to not have a verdict.", "Yeah, I, I understand.

But, uh, it seems like when I li, I lived in Chicago, I, I've lived down here. I hear the dropout rates from the schools, and I certainly see how much I pay in real estate taxes every year. And I begin to wonder if I'm really getting my money's worth. I mean, I, I've seen so many different things. So, so many different bad reports coming out of the school system and I recognize that there are good schools out there. I mean, somebody's getting, getting a good education because we, continue to employ people. But, uh, I do n't, I do n't understand the, uh, I do n't understand, I guess, why the schools don, seem to have such a high dropout rate in the big cities.", "Uh, well, I do n't pretend to understand that either. Uh, but I'm not quite sure that it's the kind of thing that ought to be blamed on the schools. But then, again, I'm not quite sure where the blame ought to be put. Uh, because the, the dropout rate is, in those areas, w, it's high in those areas where also there's poverty and, and crime. And they all seem to go together. And it seems like if you could eliminate one of, of the parts of that circle, whether, where you have the dropout rate and crime and, you know, general poverty kind of conditions, that things ought to get better. So, uh, a, the other two a, a, they're all three social issues and could be addressed by the government in any ways And clearly, to me, is a kind of government thing to, to fix but it's just like, I, I do n't expect them to know which, which, which part is best to fix just like I do n't know. It's, it's a complicated issue. I, I still do n't think I would blame it directly on the school.", "I do n't know if I blame it on the school. I think, I think I blame it, I think I blame it on a couple of different things. I think I blame it on the school system. Uh,", " Well, that's I meant when I said the school.", "Yeah. I do n't blame it on the teachers in the school. I, although I think that, I do know for a fact that some of the teachers that I know personally get paid an awful lot more than, well, they do quite well for themselves", " Huh. Well, that's odd because I do n't think the teachers in my school district, uh, were well paid.", "No. Not all school districts are well paid. But there are some school districts out there that are very well paid. I mean I know one family that's got, they're both teachers, and they both have, like second jobs that they work in the afternoons. They both work all summer full time. And from their teaching job alone, they pull in forty grand each.", "Yeah. Well, it, it,", " I mean that family is making over a hundred grand. And I'm, I mean, okay, okay. Yes, I agree that teaching our kids is important. However, these people who only work eight hours day at it, from seven to three, and they only work nine months a year and they get an awful lot of breaks in between and that's my tax dollars that I'm spending on that. And I do n't even have kids"]}

And we started in, uh, we, started from an empty lot with, uh, trees and stuff on it and we had to cut them, uh, down and clear the lot. We had to call in the excavators and have them dig the basement. Pour the basement and, uh, went from the ground up. Our one of our main problems was, well in Massachusetts, I thought I was going to, well, it was a, a fun time but I thought, gosh, summer time, you know. Well, all it ever did was rain and thunder storms And one thing is that we're, we had, we were going to pour the basement foundation. And we're in the process and it started pouring down rain. And I guess we had most of it done but the end was result, what happened was that some of the, the wa, a lot of water settled on the top and it really did n't give a very good finish and some of the, it was sort of sandy and and not, uh, a very good finish.

It was only, uh, there was, well me and my friend and then we just had like two helpers and uh, sort of a, a family type, it was n't, you know, like a commercial project or something. It was sort of just, you know, uh, gets your, get his, you know, my bro, my brother and well, maybe, you know, my cousin's coming over today to help us do that kind of thing.

I forgot what, I guess it was like eighty four, eighty five something like that. And they, at that time, they had no testing whatsoever. So that's scary", "Yeah.

And there's some that, like the different colors denotes how much they, how much the tension I guess they are and how easy they are to move. Uh, there's like, I know there's purple, gray, and, uh, green. And some of them are real short and they're the ones that are the tough ones to use, you know. But, uh, those classes I, I enjoy. Uh, I think, uh, with the aerobic classes you have to get an instructor that's fun. If you do n't have one that's fun, and not enjoy it, look, not acting like she's enjoying what she's doing, the class is not going to get out, uh, what they should get out of the class.

Well, they, um, I just noticed at our health club they ( ( will put on ) ) these computerized one, these computerized machines, and you set a speed on it and the weight and it, and it makes you do it.

Uh, it does seem to be a lot of habits to break. I, uh, was n't raised as a kid on it, but my kids are and so they, they tended to want to grab the aluminum cans when that was one of the first things to do, and we were doing all right there until, uh, the price dropped out and they were n't worth anything anymore. And we it took us, almost a year to get a garbage sack full. We just do n't drink that many. So as far as at home use, uh, we'll pick up a six pack every once in a while or for whatever occasion of Doctor Pepper or something and, and by the time we gathered up enough crushed cans to take it in, uh, at the time it was still, oh, about forty or fifty cents a pound, and we came out with about a dollar it just really was n't worth it.", "And a lot of hassle all year round and cans laying,", "So, they, they realized, you know, well, of course to them a dollar was a dollar at four and five years old. That was n't, uh, that was a big deal, but we decided it was n't worth us keeping it and then, uh, T I started keeping up with, uh, cans there, so occasionally I'll bring whatever I've got laying around the car or the like and throw them in there. Least it gets back into the system, but, as far as a habit at the house, uh, I have n't started on anything other than just whatever the city wants to pick up. Have you all got the individual containers yet?", "No, I read in the paper this week where maybe, I do n't know if it w, was, I guess maybe this week someone may start getting them if the truck that picks them up is outfitted in time. But, it, it should be starting, I would stay probably in the next month if, if everything goes that I'm not sure all what we're going to have to do, whether we have three separate containers, I really do n't understand that part on what they've told you to separate everything.", "Right. Yeah, it seemed like, uh, if, if I recall, it's been a long time. They're way behind schedule on that particular part of it. They were fine on the green, big green containers but, uh, seems like they said they were just going to have a bin and all different types would go in there and then that they would sort it as as needed. It, it seemed that there was, at the time anyway, it, the thinking was that there was too much not getting sorted properly and that at, at the collection sites where everything's clearly labeled and people that happen to go to that kind of trouble to do it, happen to do it pretty well, uh, those are okay to have the general public doing the sorting. But when it comes down to just general purpose trash, that all the houses, uh, the success rate of getting it sorted properly seemed to be poor, so they felt that having one guy just sit there and run through it real quick was better than, than having a household try it. But I, I do n't know, that sounds like an awful lot of labor to sort the entire week's worth of trash for a house.", "Well, it would get messy, too. I, I, I know other places when they recycle, they have to, like, wash out their glass jars and whatnot. And, uh, which we're not in the habit of doing. I was brought up, uh, you know, long time ago, that they did n't even have cans. They had bottles and you'd return them to the the grocery store and you'd get our money back and that, that was all well and good. They do n't seem to still be doing that. If they could just eliminate the cans and use glass, but, I guess this day and age", "They do n't do that. We live next to a set of railroad tracks and it seemed to be a very popular thing for people driving by that highway there, by our tracks to throw the bottles at the tracks and try to crash, you know break them, but, uh, they were n't that successful, so there were a lot of bottles to be returned and we just walk about a half a mile in each direction and gathered up enough to buy whatever we wanted for the day and,", "Yeah, and they, uh, p, I, I think kids do n't appreciate, maybe the value of money, that it's so little that they do n't care, they can get more somewhere else.", "Yeah, just a little bit of begging will", "Uh, for a good, right. They're, the nickels, the dimes or what, I suppose it might be quarters, fifty cent pieces in these days, that they would get, they, the kids just do n't seem to, to care that, that much about a small amount of money.", "Right. Well, I wonder,", "But, we, we did buy a can crusher and we are crushing cans and when we buy the soda when it's on sale for ninety nine cents, so I would say in the last three years, we've probably used a lot more cans than ever before. Uh, it was just easier to do that than to open a large liter bottle and then have it go flat. So that's the main reason we're, we, sort of are into cans at this point rather than the liter bottles", "Where do you take your cans?"]}

Well, um, does your company have good benefits in that, in that regard?", "Yeah, I think, I work for a public school system, district and, uh, so it's different than a company where most companies fund almost the entire thing, where the school district does, um, the employee must pick up a greater figure in the way of, uh, costs. But overall, um, I've been pleased with it over the years. I think the biggest frustration is because of the cost of insurance going up every year, our district has had to alter, uh, you know, change companies, or now we're on a managed care thing, which has stressed a lot of people out although it has not disturbed me any. How about yourself?", "Uh, well I'm, my medical coverage is with an H M O um, so, that's, in my opinion, that's get, that's bordering on a health clinic, but it seems to be a good way to maintain costs and still provide a good amount of coverage.", "Our district did that for the ninety one and the ninety school year, or calendar years, and I was in the H M O, and, um, I was because my, my same doctor, you know, agreed to be in it for, uh, they usually sign a contract or something and, um, uh, I did have surgery last summer and I paid ten dollars when I went to see him that first day, and I've never seen another bill, so I I have to say it really works. But, again, I was fortunate because my doctor agreed to be in it. Uh, if you've been going to a doctor for, you know, ten years or something and he elects not to join, it can be very stressful for you know, those people.", "That's right, yeah, I'm, I'm fairly young myself, I've only been, when I first started working which, three years ago is when I first got into full time employment and, uh, at that time I immediately joined the H M O, and I never really, so the only doctor I, I've kind of consistently had has been through the H M O, and, uh you know, for me it's worked out real good.", "Right, but if you, you know, have a family and, and, um, everybody's gone to different doctors, uh, it is hard to give up somebody who you feel knows you and your body and your, just has, you know, all the medical history and you feel comfortable with it. I, I'm sure it would be very stressful and, my husband and I have just elected that if that happens, I will go and just pay. You can continue to go to your own doctor but your benefits are not as, you know, good, so, uh.", " Uh huh. Yeah, um, like you, you mentioned you work for a school system. I work for, uh, Georgia Tech in the", " Oh, all right.", "research branch, and I guess another one that, that I rank up there high is the, uh, kind of job flexibility and time off, um, I enjoy as a benefit.", "I do too. Are you talking about like Spring Break and,", "yeah, getting a lot of breaks between quarters and that, and having a lot of vacation.", "It, it really, um, I do n't think most of our teachers, now I'm not a teacher, I am a secretarial executive assistant, but I do n't think the teachers could stand the stress all, all year long frankly. It is just, Texas has really, um, you know, they want everybody educated, no matter what it costs, uh, and it, it would be just, we all look forward to, like in two weeks we have Spring Break, and I do n't know who looks forward to it more, the students or the teachers and the staff. What do you do there?", "Well, um, I'm not actually on the teaching faculty, but we have a large research organization associated with the university, and that's who I work with. Um, and we're given, you know, a good bit of flexibility in what we do. We can kind of pursue our own interests in terms of the research areas that we study.", "Well, that's good. Yeah, I would think that that type of employment, you're, you're, one day you might be really tuned in and the next day, oh, a little luke warm or something and, um, it's good that they allow you that. It, um, as I say, the schools, now we do have to work, you know, the day, but we do get many days off, and, uh, we all look forward to it. That's the only reason I work there, is that my children now have graduated, and graduated from college but at the time, I worked there because my hours and days were the same as theirs and, uh, I've just continued to, uh, stay there ( ( ) )."]}

So.", "Uh huh, I see. Because you'd probably be, uh, too puritanical and", "Yeah, that was probably it, although in my case I might have been more, uh, sympathetic with the person who got caught, I do n't know.", "So, uh, were, were the, uh, sentences that the judge handed out what you thought to be fair, or would, if you were deciding, do you think that they would have been different.", "Well, I was never there, never there for any sentencing. Uh, I finally got empaneled on one case, uh, on my next to the last day, and, uh, we got into the, uh, jury room to, uh, decide the case, and there was one guy on the jury who announced to everybody that he did n't need to deliberate, because he'd already decided that the guy was, uh, not guilty, and he would never vote for guilty. So, uh, they appointed me jury, jury foreman and I, uh, did n't think that, uh, going in without deliberating allowed us to reach a verdict, so I told the judge that we were n't, were unable to reach a verdict because we could n't get one member of the jury to deliberate. So the whole thing had to be tried over again.", "Wow, I bet that made him happy.", "Yeah. Yeah, it was, uh, it was funny. The, uh, I ju, I, I do n't know, I, uh, I did n't, uh, uh, I did n't like not being able to deliberate. I, uh, I, I wanted to vote guilty for the guy, and the other people were kind of mixed so, uh, the guy had to go through the whole thing all over again. Cost him a lot of money, I'm sure.", "Yeah. Oh, how many members were on the jury? Was it a six or twelve member jury?", "Uh, it must have been six.", "That's kind of curious to me. I did n't realize until the, uh, Wayne Kennedy Smith trial, uh, a few months ago that they had six member juries. I thought that they, you know, it was always twelve, twelve men tried and true, so to speak. But, uh, apparently for some, some crimes, it's permissible to have six people sit in judgment. I know on a getting to this unanimous thing, whether, you know, a jury should be unanimous or not, or not, in a court martial case it does n't require the jury to be unanimous.

But, uh, since I've become a parent and since I've seen, uh, things like Jeffrey ( ( Dahlmer ) ), I really have to question that. I really, uh, I, I ca n't conceive of someone being that brutal to that many other people. And, uh, try and figure out what would be a suitable punishment.

Cuomo I believe is, um, he's, he's governor of New York but, uh, he's, uh, against the death penalty. But, um, he said that he would, he would want to, to seriously hurt or if not kill someone if, if they did something to his wife.

Uh, a, and that was the thing that, uh, killed Dukakis back, uh, four years ago when someone asked him a similar question and he, he thought for a second and gave a thoughtful well reasoned reply when, uh, people wanted to see if he was going to go for an emotion uh, a gut level reaction. And I think that the people who are strongly in favor of the death penalty are really working from that gut level. Uh, you know, whether it be a biblical force, uh, you know, the eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a life for a knife, life type logic or just, uh, uh, some sort of anger at putting peop, putting, uh, murderers up in federal pens for the rest of their life, uh, while we foot the bill. I think people are, are working at that from more of a, uh, a gut reaction than a, a reason humane one.", "See, I do n't think the decisions that are going to be made on dea, on the death penalty until we decide what our prison system is intended to do. Are they reformatories, where we're trying to take people who ca n't survive or, or that, that are n't conforming enough to society so that, that we work well together. Or are they, is it a penal institution? Is it, is, is it designed for punishment? Um, the death penalty surely fits in well with, uh, in a penal situation where you're trying to punishment. Uh, perhaps not in the manner that we do it but, but it, in, in theory it fits in. In reforma, system, in a reformatory, I mean if you, if you put someone to death you obviously, ca n't reform them.", "Uh, th, the other argument is that the death penalty is a deterrent and I really do n't, uh, agree with that. I do n't think anyone who would commit a, uh, a crime that would get them the death penalty would stop at the moment and say, well, I was about to kill and dismember this person but, oh, if they catch me they're going to kill me so I better not do it. I, I just, do n't think that, uh, that it works that way.", "I do n't think it's done. I do n't think we run it as a deterrent. I mean people say that, but, I mean, if it was really a deterrent, I mean I think like horse thieves in the old west, you know, they saw other horse thieves hanging by the necks every once in a while. And if we really w, if it was really seriously going to be a d, deterrent, I would think that it would be public. I mean I do n't think it would be this private thing because nobody ever, nobody ever sees it. If someone ever, if, you know, like say some young kids or something like that that might be inclined more towards a life of crime, had to sit and watch and, and see a guy burn or, or, you know, something or shot by a firing squad or something like that. I would think you'd make a bigger impact on their life rather than, you know, telling them that there's, there's protestors out here at the, you know."]}

I'm happy with the school, it's great, good teachers good curriculum, uh, they learn a lot, they have no problems, uh, but I do live in the better, well, in the best part of the city, though, I live in, you know, the real richy part, I guess. I'm not, but, everybody around me is and, uh, but they're, I have friends that live in the other, the less fortunate or whatever you want to call it part of town and their schools are kind of rundown and, uh, older and they do n't really offer as much, I do n't know, as, uh, the school that my girls are in. I do n't really think that's fair. You know. Uh, but, you know, I'm happy with what they're in, so, go ahead", "Well, yeah, it, it's, it's pretty much what I was s, going to say is there's a lot of disparity between different neighborhoods and what sort of schools go in. Uh, I grew up in New York and uh, the place, or not New York City, upstate New York and I went to, uh, the City of Rochester School District and s, a lot of my friends were in one of the neighboring suburbs and it was n't, we were n't too far removed geographically from each other, but the difference in schools I think was pretty substantial and, uh, one of the things that probably would have been better if, is if the entire county had had, had just one school system. And that would result in some, uh, could result in more equitable distribution of money because what was happening was, you know, all the very rich people went out to the, move out to the suburbs and the city had a very low tax base so they did n't have a lot of money to work with. As a result, the schools were rundown, there was n't as many, you know, of the nice supplies in science class that we would have liked. There was n't as many advanced placement courses, uh, when I was a senior that some other schools had. And, uh, it, it, so I, you know, I think that one of the things, one of the ways to, to, to help schools in general, uh, and get them all to a minimum level of, of, of competency almost, would be to expand the size of school districts so you get a wider variety of people, and the, the problem with that is then, then, then people will either, the rich people will either pull their kids out of the public school and put them in private schools or they'll move farther away to get better schools. So, you know it, it's kind of, you end up chasing, like a dog chasing its own tail sort of.", "Also, uh, the, the family environment, you know, you can come to south Tyler where I live and you have got room mothers in every room, you've got art mothers, you've got every, every holiday, there's parties. All these kids have these really supportive, really supportive parents, always up there for something. You can go to north Tyler to the schools and the parents might not could even tell you what their kid's teacher's name is. You know, uh, that has a, a whole lot to do with it, you know, as far as their learning, I mean, if the parents are n't, uh, you know, willing to go with the kids and find out what they're learning and if they're learning you know, they really do n't have much of a chance", "Why is that? Why is that?", "Why ( ( you asking ) ) You j, they just do n't, I mean, I mean, I'm, I'm up there at my kids' school, I know what they're learning and if they're up, I call and find out, you know, is she having problems, does she need help with anything, no, she's doing fine, okay, you know, uh, and I, I know kids that their parents could really give a rip and the kids are not motivated. They have no motivation from home, so they just go to school and, you know, ( ( eh ) ), you know, I'll get through the day, and, uh, bring homework home and, there's nobody to, to sit them down and say, you're going to do this. Uh, just, you know, they, they take a notion to do it, they do, and, uh, that does n't work either, you know, they have to have guidance and uh, they ca n't just have it at school and then come home and there's nothing, you know.", "Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I know that that, that was a big factor for me. I ended up coming out of, of the public school system very well and was very good education, uh, ended up getting some scholarships to go to college and which has been, you know, which is really nice, and"]}

I just do n't have time any more. Uh, as far as maintenance tasks that I do myself, I, I usually change the oil and wash the air filter and I, I had an occasion to change, to have to change the battery once, but, the brakes, I was really surprised that the brakes I wanted, I do have the background. I know what needs to be done and I know that the oil needs, should be changed very regularly and all of the bearings and the lube, lubrication system needs to be lubricated and so I, I stay on top of that but I I wanted my front wheels, I wanted the bearings packed and they wanted something like fifteen dollars, uh, a front or something like that or maybe it was thirty dollars to do it", "Just to pack the bearings?", "just to pack the bearings, but what I found is that they had a brake job and they, I had them, the other thing I let them do some times is that I let them go through and let them tell me what, let them do the diagnostics. That's free, okay. And then I can decide whether I want them to do it or whether I can do it, see. And they told me that my, my brake pads were gosh, you know, seventy percent still good, you know, but still it was cheaper in the long run and uh, so I just got the the brakes done and I thought that was a good deal. And plus", " Right. And they repacked the wheel bearings.", "and they re, repacked the the wheel bearings. Yeah but, uh, I've, I've had considerable experience. I'm, you might say I'm, uh, uh, good back yard mechanic and I, you know, I took auto shop in high school, it's been a while back, but I, I still have a pretty good feel for it, but one thing I did n't know is that when I was messing around with cars and stuff and most of the cars, I, I had bigger cars and the brakes go out fairly rapidly on those and what I was surprised at is that on my little Nissan I bought the truck with about sixty thousand, I have almost one hundred and ten, so I drove on those brake pads for, uh, you know, forty five thousand miles and there was hardly any wear to them. So those small little trucks and cars like that, they just the longevity of the brake pads is really good.", "You know, they've gotten to the point that where they do n't weigh very much and the the surface materials on the pads is so good.", "Exactly, so I, you know, I just did it anyway. I like to, I like to stay up on it. You know, like I just kind of stay up on it and then if you go and like, just about any point, any you know point in time and pull my dip stick and pull it out and look at the oil, the oil is you might say, uh, a white golden brown. You know, it's not dirty. I, I, I keep it that way because that's, that is the key to the longevity. So, so how,", "it sounds like you've had some good experiences with that uh, and my experiences have been kind of contrary to that. Uh, I, I get a little more involved in the maintenance of my car and, uh and in fact I have an eighty seven Mustang with a three O two in it that I've, uh, beefed up a little bit and one of the things that I did was to change the pulley system on it to use under drive pulleys so that the engine does n't have to turn the accessories and can use more of the power to the rear wheels", "Uh huh faint > >.", "uh, the only catch was the first set of under drive pulleys that I put on it were, uh, not even cast aluminum. They were just pressed aluminum.", "You're talking about the vibration dampener?", "Well, there's three, there's three pulleys that you change. You change the crank pulley", "That's the vibration dampener, yeah.", "the alternator pulley and, uh, the water pump pulley. So, when I changed those over, I put on these, these pressed aluminum things and, uh, probably about four months ago the water pump decided to go out. So in the process of seizing, the belt spun on the pulley and wore through the water pump pulley almost all the way. But not far enough to notice. So, I was on my way to work one day and, uh, the water pump pulley split laterally in half. So there was half a water pump pulley still attached to the water pump and the other half was kind of dangling off the end of the crank"]}

And that's one of those things, you just have to go once a year.", "Yep, I understand.", "So, uh, basically it, it sorts out into that, and then once, about once every three or four years I try to get over to England, because I lived there for a while, some years back.", "I've only been there once. and I'd love to go back.", "Beautiful country. Beautiful country,", "And it was,", "But, uh, and I'd real,", " we had a great time.", " really like to go because, um, I'm fairly recently married and, and my husband has been hearing about these people for years and, uh, but he's never met them, so, uh, I'd like, I'd like to do that. But anyway, that's, that's our typical vacation, and, uh, we enjoy the family vacations, but the other ones are very special getaways, and we probably take one of each every year. How about yourself?", "Well, uh, we, we, as you do, take family vacations, uh, sometimes one a year, and, but this year we're not going to be taking one for several reasons. But vacations we really enjoy, I think we've been on three cruises.", "Oh, I've never, been on a cruise.", "we really love cruises. We've gone on CARNIVAL CRUISE LINES. And, uh, we've gone fairly inexpensive from, as most cruises go. Uh, we usually book just a month before it's ready to go. And we get upgraded. Last ti, last two times, in fact, we had an outside room and it was beautiful. And we like not having to take our suitcase in and out of hotel rooms and drag it all around. It's kind of,", "Well, what do you do on a cruise? I've never been on a cruise.", "Oh, my God, you do everything. You, I mean, you can be as busy as you want to be, or as laid back as you want to be. You can sit in the sun all day around the pool, or you can take part in the games that they have going on. They always have bingo. They have a casino. Uh, they have a massage parlor. They have exercise, I mean, you can do anything. And that's just aboard ship. And then when the ship docks, you get to go sight seeing and shopping. And that's quite fun.", "Uh huh. And where have you been on these cruises?", "Uh, Nassau, San Juan, Saint Thomas. We've been there twice. We went two cruises that hit those islands, but with different people. We, we've gone with friends each time. And then we went to, uh, the western Caribbean, which is, uh, Port, uh, Cancun, Cozumel,", " Oh, the, the Mexican coast.", " and Ocho Rios. Pardon me?", "That's all Mexico, I think.", "Yes, uh huh. And, but it was wonderful. So we really like those. And, uh, I guess we just like to go someplace, someplace entirely different. We've been to a few places in this country. We still have a lot to see, though.", "Where are you from originally?", "We're from Illinois originally. And we've been down in Texas eighteen years, and so, like you, we always try to make it, you know, back home to see the relatives. We both still have family there. And that's fun. It brings back a lot of memories. Uh, things are different there, though. They're, uh, I do n't know. It's just entirely different world than this ( ( area ) ).", "Well, I, I grew up in Dallas, so I mean, it's not, it's not like I'm going home. My, my parents retired first to San Diego, and they're going now to Florida, and so they're going very nice places, thank God, that will be a pleasure to visit and get to know. I really came to love San Diego and feel very, comfortable there. They've been there eight years. And, uh, you know, I just grab the car and drive everywhere.", "Oh, that's great.", "So it, it is, it is nice, but it's not home. This is home, and, um, and I've never thought about a cruise. It's so funny.", "Oh, they, they, they really are. We've, yeah, as I said, we've done them three times. We'd be going again this, this year if circumstances had n't changed. We, we'd probably go. My husband would, you know, the minute I said the word, he, he, he's chomping at the bit. He kind of likes the casinos a little bit. But I like all of that.", "What's the best part, from your point of view?", "I like seeing other countries and shopping in other places. I like shopping. I can shop anyplace, shop in London and France and wherever. Now, my kids are moving to Toronto, so we're going to be able to go up there.", "Oh, that will be nice.", "So I'm kind of looking forward to that, except I hate to see them go.", "Sure. Well, go in, do n't go in the winter.", "Oh, that's what everybody says, and I, I think it's, I think I'll try to stay away, except my, my second grandchild will be born in in the winter in January. So that will be hard to stay away from.", "Well, th, there are exceptions made for special occasions like that. But the ordinary thing is to stay out of the north in the winter and get out of Texas in the summer so,", "Is n't that the truth, uh huh.", "Huh. Well, that sounds wonderful. I, I guess I, I would contemplate going on a cruise, uh, oh, all circumstances permitting it.", "Well, there's all age grou, groups too, and that's, that's kind of fun. Uh, you, if you sit at a table with a lot of people for your meals, you meet different people. You may meet people, you know, thirty years older than you, or younger, and everybody is really interesting, and everybody is there to have a good time and,", "Huh. How long are the cruises?", "Uh, we've only gone on the seven day cruises. They have shorter ones and then they have ten day ones. But I think seven days is long enough for us. By that time we're ready to get home and get back to our routine. I think most vacations, uh, seven days is enough for us. We've gone, I think when we went to England and France, we were there ten, twelve days, and that was pushing it a bit.", "Yeah. Uh, I tend, when, when I spend enough money to go overseas I, go for a long time.", "Well, that, that makes sense, it really does. I mean, oh, we went to Panama too.", "Oh, that's interesting.", "Went to Panama last August. Our son in law is from Panama. And, uh, we went with our daughter and son in law to visit his parents, who live there. And his father is a, a doctor and his mother is a kindergarten teacher, and they took time off, it was their winter and they were having a little break, so they took some time off that, uh, they could show us around. And it, it is a beautiful country. It is beautiful. They have mountains. We were an hour away from the mountains or an hour away from the shore.", "That's really nice.", "And it, it is gorgeous. They live in a small town called David, which is northern Panama up near Costa Rica. And, uh, it's, it's just, it's just a gorgeous country. Most people do n't realize it. I think if they could get tourists coming to their country, they'd improve the economy considerably.", "Huh. Well, may, maybe now things are calming down again. That will happen.", "We really hope, hope so.", "Well, that, that's really great. Uh, I, I mean, as I said, basically all I've done is go back and forth to parents and, uh,", "Well, that, that's, that's pretty good. That's pretty good.", "And, and, uh, we had, ( ( ) ) my husband had a conference in L A, so we spent a week in L A and of course,", "Oh, do you like L A?"]}

A lot of the ones I had wanted to see and so since he had this friend up from Houston, uh, and his friend had already seen so many and I thought they decided on this and I thought well, I want to see this one, too. So, we, uh, I finally, it's my first summer movie", "Oh my. Well, let me see. Was it, well, we went to see ONE HUNDRED AND ONE DALMATIANS last weekend and that may be, no, right before I went in the hospital my girlfriend said come on, we're going to the movies. And we wo n't, well she goes all the time but I go maybe once every couple of months. And when I go, I go see two at a time. So we went to see SOAPDISH, and", " Oh, was that good? Cause,", "Oh, hysterical. We laughed so hard, it was just, you could n't hear half the dialogue because everyone in the audience was laughing", " Well, I want to see that and CITY SLICKERS both. I love comedies. But, that's what I was", " that's the other one that we went to that night.", "Oh, was it?", "And, my face hurt so bad, because I love Billy Crystal. And course, growing up on, on the back of a horse, you know, and being on ranches and stuff, so much of that was so true and I was absolutely rolling in the aisles. It was so funny. Both of them were great.", "Oh, well good. I'm, I'm glad to hear that because they,", " Oh, they are, are we just laughed so hard. And like I said, with CITY SLICK, I mean with SOAPDISH, it is so cornball and it is so overacted that you're just hysterical you know. Just, they just carried it off, to the tee.", "Well, I do n't, I do n't know if you got to see WEEKEND, um, AT BERNIE'S that was out a couple of years ago. They had a free showing at the Berkeley, um, United Artist. And, I do n't know who was here or whether Jay called a friend and we did n't think we'd have much chance of getting in but we thought we'd try it, you know, free movie. It was so funny and it sounds like, uh, what you were just describing, SOAPDISH, too. I mean, we just, we hurt by the time we came out. And the whole theater was hysterical and it's just, it's just goofy. I mean, it's, uh, if you have a chance to rent it, at least, or it should be out on T V, I would think,", " Yeah, I think it is. I think it is.", "Um, cause it's, it's just a fun summer light comedy, make your cheeks hurt laughing.

I mean I'm getting around real good and I'm just still real sore. And today I was, I, course I went back to work two weeks after, uh but see I do n't have permanent work. I, right now I'm working with a temporary agency. And so, the second week I was out of the hospital I went up and worked half day on the computers cause you can learn all the software for free. Oh, so I went up to do WordPerfect cause that seems like that's what everybody wants, and I was up there half a day and came home and collapsed. And then they called me to see if I wanted to work a day. And I said, yeah, and I went and of course it took me the whole weekend to recover from that. And, uh, I worked about three days a week ever since, two to three days a week. And so I went to my doctors last Thursday, and this was my fourth week checkup and he said well gosh, you're just healing really well, I just ca n't get over this. He says, in two weeks you can go back to doing your crazy normal things. If you want to play ball, you can go play ball. He says, now I'm not going to say you're going to feel like playing ball but you can if you want to. And, uh, you know, he was teasing me and he says, yeah, you'll be out there waterskiing, I can just see it now. And, uh, he says so you just take it easy for two more weeks. You've only got two more weeks. I said okay fine, I, I will, I will Whatever you call easy, I'll do it, you know. But and I've been out trying to find a job because this is just not cutting it.", "Yeah. Yeah faintly > >.", "And so, I do n't, I'm real glad that we did n't go see those funny ones when I was, when I'm still sort of on the sore side.

And, uh, I'm holding out for CITY SLICKERS for the two of us because, uh, we had friends that went to see that and said, you know, it's just perfect for our age group and because I think he, he needs a comedy, too. Uh, and that's what he would have liked to have seen REGARDING HENRY, too, but knew that, uh, we've, we've got a lot of company this summer, which is wonderful. We're really enjoying it but some of the different things we're doing, uh there's just not a time, enough time to do it all and he said, well, realistically You know, he knew he could n't get them all in. But, uh, Jay really liked ROBIN HOOD. Um, when the choir group went to see BACKDRAFT and they thought that was, uh, it was funny cause he sounded like the critics. He said, you know the plot line and the characters, uh, you know are n't real big but the, the fire scenes and the dra, you know that action part is fantastic. But, he thought ROBIN HOOD was great. It was real different then you'd expect, but h but he enjoyed it and so,", " Well I went, course I am a Kevin Costner fan.", "Yeah, me too. And yeah, I really, uh, like him a lot. Which is why, DANCES WITH WOLVES was the last movie we had seen for several months but,", " Gosh, was that wonderful.", "It was, I, uh, in fact, uh, a friend from Germany was visiting in March and we wanted, we did n't, ran out of time, we wanted to take him to see it. We were going to sit through it again cause we really wanted him to see it, too. Uh, I just thought that was terrific. And I really enjoy Harrison Ford which is one of the reasons I wanted to see,", " I do, too. I think he's really good.", "And he's very good in REGARDING HENRY. That's not an easy part to play, I, I do n't think faintly > >.", "I would n't think. Well, my kids are going to their Dad's tomorrow night so I sort of think I may go do that.", "Yeah. That's at, that one wo n't your sides Um, it, was this the first time you got to see ONE HUNDRED AND ONE DALMATIANS?

It's very complex, very complicated, but, uh, I strongly believe that all children have a right to immunization, glasses, hearing aids basic health benefits.", "Well, I, when I grew up and I grew up in south central Kansas, uh, we had, and my mom worked for the health department, the county health department and we had x rays every year, we had a dentist come to our school and, uh, check our teeth once a year at least. Uh, we had all our flu shots taken care of, our measles, mumps, rubella and all that other stuff. And, uh, when my children were growing up, we did n't have that. We had to pay for it, which I was n't opposed to paying for it. I had the money to pay for it, but I'm sure that there were people that do n't.", "Well, and the costs have, so much has gone up so much. The cost of immunizations for example, uh, and just the legal the legal benefits, uh, that has really forced people into doing a lot of things unnecessarily, et cetera.

Thirty one percent of all Texas children", "Did not know that.", "do not have insurance and are not on Medicaid. So, uh, one out of every three children has nothing to reimburse them for their health care. And I work in the children's Parkland system and it's pretty overwhelming to me."]}

It is very difficult. Like our garage is always full of sacks of newspapers and, so, I do n't know. I think there needs to be more places and also I have a real strong opinion.

I mean suppose they found out some other way?", " Well, I think, I think we, I think the problem here is, is that a, a drug test does not necessarily imply that someone is taking drugs or not taking drugs. There's too many cases where it can, you know, there can be false positive results, and that, that sort of thing. I do n't think there's any definitive, you know, okay this person is taking drugs, so we do n't want him here. Uh, like I said, some industries, though, I think it'd be very necessary, I would n't want any air traffic controllers high or anything like that when I'm flying in an airplane. But, uh, I, I just, I find it to be pretty offensive that, that it's such a, a big deal. I mean, if your employer's not going to trust you or, you know, it, I just, I think it's a whole trust issue.

I had it during a job interview, and I just thought it was dumb of the company, at a point where they were trying to convince me to, to want to work for them to do this, and I'm just like, well, uh, I'm not even going to think much about it if you're going to treat me with this much respect even before you've gotten to know me.", "Right. That's, that's basically my opinion on it, right there, is that it's just, you know, I did, I, I was in the same sort of situation as, it was a job interview and then you had a physical, where you were drug tested, and it's, I just, and I know people who have been drug tested and who have not, you know, been hired by a corporation which, uh, you know, I really. The other side of it is, is, besides its being an invasion of personal privacy, as in my, it's my bodily fluid and I do n't really want you to look at it, or or something pretty basic like that, just to the fact that I do n't know that it is a company's business to regulate what its employees are doing when they're not at work. I mean, during the eight hours, during the day, when they're supposed to be there, I think they have every right to say this is, these behaviors are acceptable and these are not, but when it enters into what they're doing when they're not at work, I find that to be fairly offensive also.", "Yeah, well like you say, I mean, if it's not a critical kind of job where someone could get hurt, then really what people ought to be doing, I mean, the, the employer ought to be judging you on how well you do your work rather than on these other factors.

And also I just think it, it gets a lot, I'm a big, uh, supporter of personal freedoms and personal privacies, and I think that it just moves down along a line that, that I really would find bad if, if most people went down that line into regulating employees' lives outside of work, you know, there's already talk of people, well, we're not going to hire you if you smoke. Well, you know, I, I can see how they can say in the work place we, you do n't want them to smoke, but when somebody leaves work, I do n't think that it's the employer's right to regulate their life style at all.", "Well, do you think it's, should be illegal for an employer to do this or,", "Uh, I really think it should be, except as I've mentioned twice now, in the specified industries or, or jobs, because there are certain things where it's just vital that a person is clear minded at all times. And other than that I think, I do not think it should be allowable. I think it should be illegal for them to, to want to do that. It should, it's kind of the big brother syndrome, I mean, I just, anything like that just kind of scares me.", "I tend to, to view it, even though I do n't think I'd work for a company that did that, I sort of want to defend an employer's rights as opposed to an in, uh, in addition to an individual's rights, but an employer, really, I think, has the right to hire someone on any basis they want to and if they say they do n't want smokers, I sort of feel like an employer should have the right to decide whether they want to allow that."]}

So, um, I think you need to make, you know, if you do, do day care centers, you know you should make frequent checks and, um, to check in on them when they're not expecting it. Because they do, do things differently when you're not around, so.", "Well that, I know wh, the things that we kind of looked at is, is you want to see how many teachers you have. And, and how many kids they have and how they break it up. Because we had, we had one that sounds kind of like what you were in. It, it was a really good one, and in fact, it worked out for us because my wife, we kind of bartered. My wife did artwork for them and then, you know, so we got our day care free. But they did n't have enough teachers and,", " Well, this one was set up good. I mean they had two teachers to every room. Um, sometimes three. And they had a good system like so when you walked in, everything looks cool. The problem I had was that they did not show affection to the children enough. They did not show them care to these small children who are being left. Um, they, one time I picked up this little boy who was crying and the owner came and just chewed me up one side down the other. You know, he said you are going to have every child in here wanting you to pick them up. And I said, no, this child was crying and needed some comfort, you know, what is your problem. So, um,", "Did, did they separate them by age group? Because I'd think, you know, I think that's one thing that was important.", "Right. They did, they had like, um, the, the crawlers, the babies that did n't walk in one room. The ones that were starting to walk in one room. Then they had like the, um, three, three year olds, upper fours, lower fours, upper fives, lower fives. You know, just like that. You know, they really did separate them well.", " I, it sound, yeah,", " It was just the teachers themselves. Right. But, yeah, that they're not,", " Affectionate people that they're, they're kind of par,", " Yeah. Their system,", " may be parents themselves or something.", "Right. But their, but their system was, was great but, um, the, you know, the caring just was n't there. The one woman that taught that did the babies. I worked with her and she was fabulous. She loved them babies, and she loved them and cared for them. But, um, every one of the others that I saw was just screaming and yelling and, um, you know, would make me a nervous wreck, so, you know.", "Yeah. I, I, I think that's probably a really important thing because you can have doctorates and P H D's and all that kind of thing and, you know, know all the technical stuff, but if they do n't reach out and touch the kids, then that does n't do any good.", "Yeah, these kids are just in a day care center all day and, uh, with no, any type of emotional, you know, getting love, getting care, they're just there. You know. Going through this routine, which is lousy.", "The other, the other group that we had was kind of interesting. The other one we went to the, it was a husband and wife team and we knew them from other associations but, uh, it was kind of interesting because she was kind of the strict one, and I think, you know, she would, she'd put her arm around the kids and talk to them and stuff, you know, but he was actually the more, um, the more, uh, what, demonstrative type. The more loving he would, you know, laugh with the kids and play with the kids and and i, it was kind of interesting to see that, that it was actually the man in the group that, that did that side of it. An,", "Yeah, you do n't see that much.", "Yeah, so they had a really nice balance. We liked that one. In fact, it was called Humpty Dumpty Play School or something, but they also did, they also did some of the teaching things and then they had, um, you know, obedience, obedience was important.", " Yeah, that has to be with a day care center.", " And you know so they, you know, they used, uh, oh, I think they used the, you probably heard where, you know, where you stand in front of the clock and get your power back to control yourself.", "I've never heard of that. That's, that's a new one,", " And it's, it's one, Uh, I ca n't remember what they call it actually but y, you just stand them in front of a clock and, you know, it has a second hand that goes around."]}

Meaning like, uh, you know, three or four years ago. I'm a senior in, in, uh, college now. And, uh, I ca n't really talk too much about the problems with, uh, public education in detail because the school system I went to was, uh, really superb even though it was a public school", "Yeah. I feel that my, uh, I'm a junior in college now. And I go to Tech, Georgia Tech?", " I got a friend who goes there, by the way I want to as, talk to you about that afterward, okay.", " Okay Uh, I've, the high school I went to was, uh, was a good one also. And I, well, I guess you could say one of the problems with the public education system is the disparity between different schools. Because the one I went to was, you know, I'm sure a, a lot nicer than, you know, a lot of the inner city schools and the things around Atlanta.", "Yeah. ( ( It was a, a, it's a ) ) more or less a suburban school system? Yes. That, that was true for mine too. Uh, although I I'm sure to some extent, that money is part of the problem in the disparity, but I do n't think, I honestly do n't think that's the biggest part of it. You know, I think that, uh, I mean I know that in my town, you know, most of the, most of the parents, they're valued education. And, uh", " Yeah, that's true.", "you know, and so the students were, you know, to some extent, motivated to learn. I mean", "Yeah. And I'm also I mean, in the, in those places where, uh, like the economy is really bad, they might, you know, be more tempted to, to quit school and get jobs and that kind of thing because they need the, you know, money to put food on the table and stuff like that. More than they would you know, in areas where they ( ( yeah ) ),", "Yeah, that's true. But but, uh, I think, I mean even more than that, even, I mean if you drop out in high school you should still be able to read you know?", "Yeah. That's true.", " Which it ( ( ) ), I mean it sounds like, uh, now I think maybe it's started changing in the past few years because, uh, they have of these, uh, sort of mandatorytory tests if you have to take before you get a diploma. But, uh, but, uh, certainly before that, there were people that, you know, would graduate from high school and could barely read. Uh, and that's just sort of inexcusable and you ca n't really, I, I, I mean I just ca n't even picture how that could happen. You know, except maybe to someone whose, you know, really badly learning, uh, disabled or something. But these people obviously were n't.", "That's hard for me to say since I did n't,", "likes a burp > >.", "I did n't really grow, well when I went to elementary school it, it was n't in a great area but I still, I mean, I learned to read, started learning to read when I was in kindergarten, you know. So I guess I ca n't really I ca n't say what it would be like to, uh, grow up in a really oppressed region You know, I guess the whole, the whole environment and attitude towards school and learning is different for the ( ( ) ) people.", " Yeah. And I think that's almost a bigger factor, than anything else probably. I mean, I do n't, I think you know, people just,", " So, I guess the problem is the, the thing to do is to try to, uh, to get some kind of motivation to learn and,", "Yeah. And, again, I do n't, I mean ( ( they got to ) ) know the, you know, how qualified, I mean, ( ( ) ) I think it'd be interesting to, you know, to spend a couple of days just looking around an inner city school. Uh, you know, sort, sort of maybe from elementary through, uh, high school. You know, just sort of to get a feel for what it's like. I think that'd be an interesting experience. But, uh, I have n't done that", "No, I, I ca n't say that I have either.", "But I do, I do think that, uh, I mean, public education in general I think can work. And I think it's a good thing.", "Yeah. I've, I've heard some, I mean I've heard sta, sta, statistics and things that, that compare a public education to a private education. I mean within like, within the same, uh, income groups. If you compare the, like the people that could have, that could have sent their kids to private schools and the people that, you know, the people that, uh, did send their kids to private schools. I think they compare fair, you know, fairly well.", "Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I do n't, I honestly do n't really think I could have, you know, done much better than I did in the school system I was in.", "I, I, I, my schools, I mean, there, I have a lot of once, once it seemed I got into high school, they had a lot of, uh, ( ( ) ) accelerated programs and all kinds of stuff like that. That, I mean, that makes a big difference cause I wondered when they're taking classes with, uh, with people that are really, are interested in the, the subject and stuff like that.", " Yeah. I mean, and and in the, once you ( ( book ) ) junior high, uh, start junior high, starting in eighth grade all the way through high school, there were four levels. Well, no, I guess it wa, in junior high, it was still three. Then in high school it changed into four levels of, uh, of instruction in the major subjects."]}

You want to go ahead and start talking about whether you budget", " ( ( Yes ) ). Yeah. Well i, I, I, I feel like, uh, I am from Mars. I mean I'm fifty years old and, uh, I've been divorced for, um, eighteen years. But I've two kids and all. But I, uh, I, I've never had a budget and I do n't, uh, do any planning and I do n't know, ( ( ) ) I do n't, uh, uh, I do n't have a long term financial plan. I do n't try to control my expenses. But I'm, I'm glad you're a stranger.", "That sounds kind of like me.", "But, really, I'm, I happy, I, I, well I'm curious how other people live. Uh, so maybe we should start with you What do you do?", "About the same thing.", "Oh. Maybe they're going to arrest us both.", "I'm even in worse shape because I have eight children and, uh, we live from hand to mouth We hope that there's enough money at the end of the month to pay for the bills and if there's not, then we ( ( ) ) due for the next month. A couple of times we've tried some things and they worked but I'm not disciplined enough to keep doing it. The best program we ever had is at the beginning of the month we took and, uh, took my check and divided it out into envelopes and then paid for the expenses out of that envelope and when the envelope was empty then you did n't have any more money to spend in that area. And that worked out real well cause we did n't have to keep writing down what we'd spent. It was just that when that was empty, you knew you were out of money. And we did that pretty successfully for about three months and then we started borrowing from one envelope to put it in the other envelope and in about two months we were back to doing the same thing we always do.", "Huh. The, uh, I had a part time job around, oh gosh, fifteen years ago, seventy six, and, uh, uh, this was a sort of a career shift at the time and so I was willing to take a half time job to do that. And I actually did, my bank account would, uh, I'd, I, I kept bouncing checks, just at the end of the month but I, I had miscalculated. I, well I did n't keep a balance It's one of the problems this very faintly > >. I never had to in the past. I always kept plenty of money in my checking account, but when you're only earning half the salary. Even though I was n't spending much money, I sometimes I sometimes would just, things would get to tight. Uh, and sometimes what I would do is keep a piece of paper in my wallet and every time I, uh, I spent money, I mean cash mostly, I would, uh, write it down so I could see at the end of a month how much I spent on food so I could do better planning. But I would forget to write the things down and it, that I, I do n't know if I ever went as far as three months or not i, i, in keeping that kind of data. I certainly have n't done that in sixteen years or whatever.", "I even find now like with the automatic tellers, I'll go take money out of that and then I forget to take that out of my checking account. So I, I, I leave a little bit of a slush fund in my checking account and I figure that, so the balance showing in the checking account is always somewhat different that what's really there. And I figure that gives me room for the mistakes I make.", "Uh huh. The, uh, I, i, I have to say that, let's see, at this point on, I do n't run out of money. Uh, and it, uh, a, and I do n't, I mean someday, if I were to get remarried I might want to buy a house which requires lots of money which I do n't have and I, I, I think my strategy if, if I may, i, i, is to, is to not spend money. I mean I do n't have expensive tastes. I do n't go out. I mean I buy a car, well the last car I got rid of I'd had, it was nineteen years old. Pe, people were embarrassed for me. I mean it was, it was a good car and,", " ( ( But it was ) ) still running.", "Oh, it was great. My, my mechanics loved it because it was an old, it was a sixty five Buick and it just would n't stop. Uh, and it, I, I just did n't feel the need for a new car. It is n't like I could n't afford one. Uh, and now, I mean I, I do n't, uh, I tend to eat expensive food. I mean I do n't mind buying a good steak but for me, I only do that every week or, without even, I mean, maybe once a month. I mean you buy a, a tenderloin steak, it costs outrageous, like twelve dollars a pound. You buy a, a, less than half a pound so it's six or seven dollars. To me, I realize if you have eight kids you're not going to run out and do that.", "Not very often", "But, but I'm just, I'm just saying as a single person, that's, that's a drop in the bucket. And so if you're extravagant on how you buy food, it does n't add up. If you're buying, I mean if you're not going to super expensive restaurants, which I do n't care to go to. So, so that's, I think, one of the reasons I do n't need to budget is that I do n't have, I do n't, I do n't have to hold myself back from buying that expensive thing because I ca n't afford it, because I'm not interested in that expensive thing."]}

That w, we do n't have, uh, well a lot of states do n't have capital punishment. I, I think they should. I, and I think if a person is guilty of taking someone's life and like you say, it's, it's, there's no doubt whatsoever. Like drunk drivers that kill people and, uh, you know, all they, they're caught dead to rights.

Uh, a, like I said, as far as removing of the jury and having the judge sentence, that's absurd. There's no way that could work.", " Oh, yeah. I, I, I do n't agree with that at all.

Are you in Dallas also?", "No, I'm in San Antonio.", "Oh, really, okay.", "I get my news from a combination of sources. I take the paper every day and I read it on the way in to work on the, in a carpool. Uh huh. And, uh, and I watch the, uh, actually I watch the morning news before I leave for work. And then, you know, usually over lunch, there'll be a big topic of conversation on something from the news.", "I normally find that uh, I, I'm probably the most, um, news hungry of my friends, so I do n't, we do n't normally talk about the news at lunch. I, I find that I have to only subscribe to the paper on the weekend, simply because I used to get it during the week but, um, I would always end up arriving at work late, because I would always end up skimming the headlines, spending too much time, reading it in the morning. So I have to cut myself down to the weekend, plus after work. Um, the MACNEIL LEHRER news hour is on public television and I enjoy that quite a bit.", "Yeah. Um, one of the women that I work with, her husband is Iranian. So here lately with all the Middle Eastern news we've had some very interesting conversations over lunch.", "I will admit I work with, uh, someone who's Iranian, and he definitely has a very different slant on the news. He's very, very skeptical of the news media, and I will admit I'm reasonably skeptical also. But he's, I do n't know, uh, he's mu, much, much more so. It's sort of interesting though, because he does bring a, a much, um, different perspective with all the Gulf goings on, um. He was always speaking in terms of, you know, American imperialism reasserting itself. Um, I suppose it's a different attitude that we normally do n't hear in the country.", "Uh huh Well I, I, uh, I like the print news much better than the television news because television news tends to sensationalize.", "True, um, the,", "I understand that the MacNeil Lehrer probably does n't.", "They, um, tend to spend quite a bit of time on one story. They will have maybe two or three main stories and just spend a very large amount of time. Sort of like the, uh, what is that, A B C's NIGHTLINE. Well, I guess they only normally stick with just the one, um, story. But they, they can do a much better job since they do n't have to chop it into little two minute stories.", "They do n't report on every murder and shooting that happened in, in every little town.", "No, no. It's very much national interest news. A lot of times they end up, um, with these panels of experts and they go back and forth, where everyone's giving some opinions and sometimes that, I do n't know the value of that, because I saw plenty of jokes and, and, um, oh, editorial cartoons about all the retired generals, making a living during the, the Gulf War.", "I've been getting a kick out of those lately. Although, um I, I'm only twenty five, so I've never actually been through a period of war and I do n't know anyone in the military and I do n't have a lot of background knowledge in, uh, military strategy and, and weaponry, and, and all that kind of stuff. And I thought the generals were very interesting. Now when they started to speculate, I, I saw that for what is was, and thought all of these guys do n't know what's going on. But I thought the, the, they were interesting, and, and they shed some light on what was going on for me.", "I will admit it's interesting. I, I, I'm twenty six. So I do n't have any more experience in that than you. Um, it, it, it was very interesting that it seemed like some of the commentators had their axe to grind, you know, there were some that were screaming for air power, there were some that were saying the air power was n't going to do it. And they seemed to mold the events to their view of the world, which I suppose just about everyone does, but these guys had a, a, uh, national soap box to stand on and, and express this view.", "You know, one of the best television news shows that I saw during the war was a show on a Saturday morning on A B C, and it was for children and it was hosted by Peter Jennings, and it was so interesting because they were relating the war to these children in their studio, and they also had children calling in live from all over the country and asking questions. And they, they had all their correspondents in the different areas, in Saudi Arabia, and Israel, and, and all. They had them all, uh, on, I do n't know what you'd call it other than on line. They had them all on hold and if a child asked a question that the person in Jerusalem could best answer, they would cut to that person, and that person would answer the question. It was just very informative and interesting, and, uh, I was real impressed at how A B C handled, uh, translating, the war for children.", "Yeah, I did n't see anything like that, although I did, uh, I guess one thing that I found sort of interesting, this is getting a little off the topic, but there was a, a, a big push with the local T V stations to have little hot lines with counselors to, to help parents learn how to talk about their war with their children. I thought that was a really unusual thing.", "And our local H E B stores here, I do n't know if it's H E B statewide or whatever, but they have videos that, uh, I do n't know if they still have them, but they were free rental, videos, that had something to do with the war. Uh, it was,", "It, with the children's aspect?", "Right. It was something for children, that they, they had several advertisements on television pushing parents going and, uh, getting the video and watching it with their children and discussing it and that kind of thing.", "I suppose that is a valuable service. Again not having, uh, lived through another war, I do n't know if that's a common thing that people thought of, or if that was a new concern with people.", "back during the Viet Nam conflict that no one will, will have the guts enough to call a real war uh, the, that type of technology just was n't at people's disposal.", "That's true. That's true.", "So I do n't think there's ever been a war that's been so thoroughly covered by the news.", "And spot in the tape > > probably more importantly, one that lasted short enough that, that people's interest did n't flag too badly.", "Yeah. I tell you what, the first three days, I was glued to the television.", "I will admit the same thing. And I, would come home and flip on MacNeil Lehrer and they would run these extended two, three hour versions of the program and I, I was just, I was horrified and fascinated by what I was seeing.", "I tell you what. The uh, the war start, spot in tape > > let's see, was it a Wednesday or Thursday? Must have been Thursday, uh, and Friday night I was, I stayed up until two o'clock in the morning, sitting, right dead center in front of my television just watching practically with my mouth hanging open. Because I was watching C N N, and they would, they would switch back to one of their Israel bureaus, and the people would be standing there in gas masks, and you'd be hearing the sirens, and it was just, I was amazed.", "Uh huh. I, I did n't have that experience. I, I do n't have cable so I, I'm pretty much limited to P B S, which I thought, I thought they did a very good job. Um, I've got one question for you. I you say you take the newspaper. Um, I, I found the newspaper situation in Dallas very interesting. We've got the one fairly, well, relatively weaker paper, the TIMES HERALD, and then the MORNING NEWS, which has a very strong subscription. Does San Antonio ha, you said San Antonio, right? Do you have just one paper, or do you have several?", "No. There are two, and they're pretty close. Uh, the one that I picked is more similar in format to the newspaper, I grew up near Houston and there are two major newspapers there that run pretty much neck and neck, and the one I picked here had the same format as the one that my parents took as I was growing up. I mean, the same type of typeface on the headline and that kind of stuff. It's piddly stuff to pick a newspaper over, and I enjoy, the comics are better in this newspaper. This newspaper has the far side and the comics that I enjoy and the other one has some weird ones that I've never heard of. So,", "I, I actually take both newspapers on the weekends. I figure I'm only taking on the weekend, and I can afford that. I, I find the news reporting in the MORNING NEWS to be better, but I sort of have a liberal political slant, and the MORNING NEWS just has an incredibly conservative editorial, um, outlook. I get the TIMES HERALD just to balance that out a little bit.", "My fiancee takes probably six Sunday papers. He takes both San Antonio papers, an Austin paper, both Houston papers, I guess he takes seven, the San Marcos paper and the New Braunsfel paper, but he's a football coach at Southwest Texas State University, so he's getting all the sports sections."]}

I'm not really sure what the exact, uh, specifications are for Texas. I know that they, uh, have capital punishment for certain crimes, and that's probably the way I feel about it is, is, uh, it kind of depends on the crime that's committed. My belief all my life, I guess, has been that, that if you take someone else's life, then you automatically ( ( are ) ) giving up, uh, yours in place of it But I do n't, seems to be a lot of controversy about that", "Uh, uh, I tend to agree with you, uh, you know, probably pretty similar views on it, but that's, that's one of the things I do n't, do n't understand is, is so much of the controversy because, uh, you know, I, I do also, myself, believe in capital punishment, uh, uh, you know, it, it really irks me to see so much effort put into preventing someone being put to death by the State when they so callously and usually so, you know, without even thinking or without any concern, uh, you know, end somebody else's life, and in a lot of cases several people's lives.", "That's true I guess, well, there's, there's probably two or three different types of, of views as far as the controversy goes. I can see where if a life was taken by accident or, uh, I do n't know what you'd call it, not premeditated or, I guess primarily by accident, uh, there may be cases where the death penalty is not called for, but I lean towards, if it's premeditated or if it's, uh, kind of a habitual or, or a habit that, uh, a tendency that people, uh, may get into, then I guess I do n't really have a problem with it", "Yeah, that's, that's kind of the way I feel. If, if you've got a guy who's, who's been to trial and has been in and out of jail, you know, basically a, a three time loser for the twelfth time, you know, and he goes out and kills somebody, he's not going to be reformed, he's not going to get any better, you know, it's, it's not going to, it's just not going to get any better. And, and the only thing, you know, a lot of people have the opinion that, you know, do n't, do n't have capital punishment, but give them life in jail and, you know, I could go along with that, if, if I could be assured that it would be their natural life in jail and not parole after ten, or twelve years.", "Yeah, I think that's what aggravates a lot of people, is somebody does get a life sentence in place of the death penalty, and they wind up back on the streets after five years or six years or like the kid on the news tonight out in Mesquite who was out in six months.", " Uh huh. Yeah, it's, it's just our criminal system is just so, I guess, overloaded, but the, you know, the, the problem is not so much with the prison system, you know, I mean, because the, the cops are out there doing their job enforcing the laws, and the prison system are just, you know, they're trying to cope with them, but you know, the thing about capital punishment i, I, you know, a lot of people do n't think it would be a deterrent, uh, to, to future crime, and the way it is now, it's not. Because, you know, you, if like the State of Texas, for example, may, uh, you know, may execute somebody twice a year. You know, that's, that's no kind of deterrent because we, we've got literally hundreds of people on death row, and, and many of them who have been there for literally for ten or fifteen years on death row, and that's, that's certainly no kind of deterrent, and I would tend to agree with anybody who says right now that it, it's not a terrent, a deterrent, because it's not.", "No, it's not. You think of your chances of getting the death penalty after cre, uh, committing a crime are really pretty slim right now. And you can, probably spend, uh, a lot of time, uh, or maybe eventually, uh, just waiting it out, and that's where a lot of aggravation comes, I think, is, is, uh, these guys spend so much time in the appeal process or just in the waiting process, they may spend years, and, you know, the last I heard it was costing ten, twenty, thirty thousand dollars a year, uh, to keep these guys waiting.", "Yeah, it, it's amazing. There's, uh, there's a girl I work with, our secretary, as a matter of fact, her, her father was murdered, her father and three other guys up here in Sherman. And the, uh, the guy, that they tried and convicted and sentenced him to death, you know, he's been on death row for like eight years. And, you know, this, this was her father, uh, you know, that, that got killed, you know, just cold blooded murder, him and three other people, and, but still, for some reason, you know, this, this guy's sentence has not been carried out, you know, he's sitting on death row for eight years after having killed four people, and the State still ca n't bring itself to, to ex, execute,", "To, yeah, to carry it out. It sort of takes the justice out of the justice system.", "It does, it really does, you know. She, and they have to go back, uh, occasionally, you know, she has to write letters to the parole board and, you know, lawyers, and just, just ever so often she mentions, well, she's got to do something else, you know, write another letter, or do something. It's just,", "It should be over and done with.", "Yeah, yeah, you know, she should be getting on with her life, you know, getting, getting that part behind her, but yet, it's, it's kind of tied to her the way it is now.", "Yeah, it is. And she winds up being a, a victim, day after day after day.", "Yeah, right. A victim, not only of, indirectly of the crime, but also indirectly by that, indirect involvement. It's just, it's,", "She's an emotional victim", "Yeah. Yeah, it, it's terrible, you know and,", "And, you know, the, like you say, the cops ( ( that ) ) are out doing the work day by day have got to have a lot of frustration when they see all their work, basically go out the window.", "oh, man, I, I could n't be a cop for that, for that very reason, you know, because they do. The, the criminal gets right back out and, you know, the cop's just got to go back and, and do his thing all over again, because so many of the crimes are, are done by repeat offenders.", "Yes, they are. Well, that's about five minutes, so unless you've got something else, well, It's a pleasure talking with you.", "All right, Ron, we'll see you later.", "Okeydoke, good bye."]}

Tell me about your home.", "Well, it's an older home. It was made back in the early sixties. It's a pier beam house. Got three bedrooms, one bath and that just makes me scream.", "That's pretty tough What area do you live in?", "I live in Houston.", "Oh, okay. I see. Is that pretty typical for your area?", "Well, for the neighborhood I'm in, yeah, This is one of the more established neighborhoods,", "Huh uh. That sounds real interesting. I live in a suburb of Dallas and, uh, I live in the basic three bedroom, two bath home. So, at least, I have two bathrooms. That's not so bad, but, uh, it's pretty typical for the area, as well. Uh, I've always been interested in older homes, personally. So, I think you can end up doing more with them, it seems like. What about yard space? Do you have lot of, a big lot, or anything like that?", "The whole lot I'm sitting on is roughly half an acre.", "Oh, I see.", "About half of that, about a quarter acre of that, I've got a garden.", "Huh uh. Oh, that's nice. Because I have just like a very small, you know, those basic tract houses, like that. We have a very small yard and, um, I do have garden, but it's extremely small, but, uh, it seems like, though, for your area that, that is sort of different. In a big city like that most houses, I would think, would be sort of like what we live in. Just a you know, basic tract house.", "Well, in the, uh, newer neighborhoods and development communities, the houses are so close together, if your neighbor is having an argument you can here it blow for blow.", "That's exactly right. That's the way we are. We have, uh, one thing we have that we really enjoy here, is we have a hot tub in the back. So we have, we have quite a few parties, and uh, seems like everyone that lives around us, ends up, you know, hearing every conversation that goes on outside with everyone. So, uh, that's true that is one thing that I do n't enjoy about it, is the houses are too close together. But, uh, you know, it's fine for now, hopefully, eventually, we'll move in a larger home. The only thing that I do n't like also is the rooms are so small. You know, it's very difficult to arrange furniture and things like that, so. Are your rooms in your house bigger since it's a sixties home? Because it seems like then, that they built the homes much larger is that true?", "Yeah. And they've got better closet space. ( ( ) ) new houses that I've seen.", "Yeah. Yeah. That's really it. That's a plus. At least we do have like three walk in closets here. So that's, that's maybe not so typical, but, uh,", "It helps a bunch.", "Yeah. It really does, except when you have to fill them up and then you get those Visa bills in. And So anyway, um, anything else about the area, about, um, you know, can you compare yourself to any thing around there.", "Most of the neighborhood I'm in is pretty typical. This whole neighborhood was built between sixty and sixty five.", "Yeah. So it's, it's,", "Everybody has got a ( ( ) ), pretty good size yard, I mean, I got probably the biggest, if not the biggest yard, I've got pretty close to it, in the entire neighborhood.", "That's nice. That is nice. But, you know, too, the only bad thing, too, is that then you have to keep up, you know, you have to, the yard to deal with and,", "I enjoy that though.", "Do you. You must have more time than, than I have. I'm sitting out here right now. We had this terrible rain and I'm looking at the yard and seeing how tall the grass has gotten and it seems like now that's, that's, I almost wish I was in an apartment or something. You know, Yeah. Well, um, I do n't know, do we just terminate this or do you have to talk for a certain amount of time? Do you know?", "No, we can, after you go to somewhere between five and ten minutes, they'll get a little master recording ( ( on ) ),", "Okay. Well, can you tell me anything else about the house Are you working on it? I mean, do people around that area seem to do a lot of renovation?", "Yeah. This entire neighborhood, everybody keeps the places up real nice.", "Yeah. That's, that's nice. Yeah, the town that I came from is, uh, is a, uh, older town, it like, the typical, the typical homes there are like, you know, early nineteen hundreds late eighteen hundreds, and I renovated a house there and that was so much fun. I mean, there, if you do n't live in a house that's at least seventy five to hundred years old, you know, you're just nobody, practically And that was really, that was a good experience for me to learn a lot of discipline and, uh, ( ( ) ) was considered typical for that area. So, uh, it was quite a change for me to come to a house like that now that's just, you know, a very square little box and, you know, there's not a whole lot you can do with it. But, uh, anyway,", "Living in the city has some advantages.", "Yeah. That's true.", "If given the choice, I'm getting out.", "Oh, really. Well, I have lived in a small town for, you know, this, this town was like less than ten thousand people and it was about sixty miles south of Dallas. And, you know, I did n't move out of there until I was, you know, twenty seven and that was just, you know, so I love the big city You know, I had lived in a rural area for, for so long so I've enjoyed it, but, uh, it can, it can get kind of tough. Its like a rat race sometimes.", "That's just something I'll never adapt to. I do n't, I do n't want to be a part of the rat race. I want to be basically just kind of left alone. If I want to sit around and mess with my garden, I'll mess with my garden, if I want to work in the flower beds,", "Yeah. It sounds like you enjoy working outside as well. I, I, yeah. I really do enjoy that. But I have n't planted anything yet or, you know, I usually have gotten flowers coming out the ( ( gazoo ) ), but I, I have n't done that, yet. I've had finals this week. So, uh, you know, I'm just kind of trying to, trying to stick in with that, but, uh, since that's over with now, maybe I can, I can get this yard in shape. Do you do a lot of gardening?", "Uh, landscaping is more, than the gardening, ( ( in the garden ) ) I've got my beans, peas, I've got some onions out, tomatoes, I'm not real sure what they're going to do this year.", "I never have much luck with tomatoes. I do plant a lot of beans, because it seems like, the, uh, bugs get on them so easily and I have a real problem with anything like pesticides or anything like that, so, the only thing that I use is soap. I water, you know, spray the plants, because they say, supposedly, that will keep the bugs off them. But, uh, I do n't have luck with that tomato plant, so I hate to spray them with anything. Um, what do you do? Do you have any tips you could give me?", "Um, my favorite one is putting on the, um, tomato plant is to put, uh, ( ( ) ) dust, and that stuff has been around since the beginning of time,", "That's true. That's true. My dad is a farmer so, I've heard him talk about that forever. I guess it works, but, um, you have to really wash your vegetables after that so it wo n't make you sick. Let's see what else do you do to your house?", "Well, I've done some rewiring on it. Eventually, if we stay here, I'm going to have to rewire the entire house.", "Oh, really. Do you plan on like adding any rooms or, you have enough space you could probably do that. Or is it,", "I've talked about adding at least one more room and definitely adding another bath on.", "Yeah I would think so if you only have one bathroom for three bedrooms, that's tough. Do you not, like, have a half bath.", "Not even a half bath.", "Yeah. Yeah. That's rough. The house that I used to live in had one bath and a half. And that was even just with two people. That was a pain.", "The only thing that saves it, with the schedule I work and the schedule my wife works, we're getting ready to go to work at totally different times. So that. It's not like we're tripping over each other in the morning.", "Really. That could account for a lot of marital problems I think You get to know each other very well if you have to share a bathroom", "It does n't work if you're trying to shave and she's trying to put her eyeliner on and, you're both fighting over the mirror.", "That's right. It does not make for a happy situation. That's true. Well, do you have any children?", "I've got one.", "One child. And they enjoy where they're living?", "We'll, he's nine months old.", "Oh, so he does n't know, right. I guess, he's a big help out in your garden. Right.", "He likes to dig around a little bit.

I, I'll, mostly I'm into it for relaxation, so I like things like GOLDEN GIRLS or CHEERS or, uh, Monday night is real good with me, you know, MAJOR DAD and, and, uh, NORTHERN EXPOSURE and, and, uh, oh, what's that one with Burt Reynolds? That type of show is what we what, uh, we watch. We generally just stay on one channel all, for all of Monday night, just to watch those. Just some of the times they're continued, but mostly they're just little vignettes. A new one we found we really like is that DINOSAURS. Have you seen that? That is, it's, it's really funny.

Uh, but it's, we've only seen it a couple of times. But it, it's real, the first one we saw, um, they were, it, it involved a tradition of when a per, person reaches seventy five, and I ca n't remember what day they call it, but, but, uh, the son in laws get to throw the mother in laws when they're seventy five over a cliff Anyway, it, it goes on, you know, and the son in law and mother in law are sniping at each other and all, and then when it comes time for him to throw her over, well, the, the teenaged son the night before tried to save her by hiding her. And she said no, you ca n't do, you know, he ran her out, was running to hi, in a wheelchair to hide her, and she said, \" You ca n't do that. \" \" This is tradition. This is what old people are supposed to be, thrown over the, the cliff. \" And, uh, he said, \" I do n't understand. \" It's, it's real funny that they give the teenagers the, as the one that questions, uh, the, what's going on. And, uh, in the end of, uh, the son in law, when he did get the mother in law up to the cliff, uh, th, the so, the teenaged son throws himself in the way and says, \" No, you ca n't do it, \" and then, and then, uh, \" Oh, well, we've got to do it. It's tradition, \" and the son was, you know, \" Why? \" And so, in, in the end he does n't throw her over,", "Oh, he does n't.", "and, of course, the town thinks he's just terrible, because that has been tradition for hundreds of years and he's broken it. And then we saw one where this, there was a teenage, when a teenage boy comes into his manhood, they call it the night of the howling, or something like that, and they all go out and howl, you know And, and the son refused to do it. He, he did, he thought it was not...", "So he did n't go howl?", "No, he would n't go howl, so all the, all the people that worked with the father ostracized him", "Oh, how funny.", "It is.

So it's, our, our grandson, our oldest grandson is the one that, that got us to watching it. But it really is, it moves real fast. It's a real short, and there's always, like I say, a moral to it and,", "It's just a half hour, or is it hour?", "Well, half hour. That, that's all there is to it. And, and, uh, they...", "There's not many half hour shows, it seems like that,", "Yeah, it, it, they, they're trying to liken the, the father in there of the teenage son to like JACKIE GLEASON SHOW. Uh, the way he talks to his mother in law and so forth, and I guess maybe there are some parts of that, but I did n't really see that in there. But what I've read about it, they talk about that. But anyway, we've, we've enjoyed that, and, and, uh, I guess mostly I, I like the news shows too, the news magazines, like SIXTY MINUTES or TWENTY,", "Yeah, no, I watch those if I,", "TWENTY or PRIME TIME LIVE or something like that, you know, all, all of those shows, if I can do it, but my husband likes to watch, um, old movies, especially war movies, or, or, uh, sports, which I'm not,", "Oh, see, I like sports.", "No, I do n't. Well, I, I do, I like ice skating and I like, uh, gymnastics, and some track and field, but I, I, and I'll watch snippets of baseball games and I, I just do n't have that much time to sit and watch the whole thing. And I do n't ever, no matter what's on, I do n't ever just sit and watch T V. I'm usually either doing dishes, or I may be sewing, or, you know, I always have, or letter writing, or I may be working around in the room somehow, but I do n't, I do n't ever just sit and, I, that's something that comes from your old age, you know.", "No, I do n't sit.", "Idle hands are the devil's workshop", "I know. Who has time? I do n't have time to sit, I know.", "No. It's, it's, uh,", "That's why I do n't get to watch that much. I mean, I, watch nine o'clock I do okay, because the kids are all in bed, but before that, I really, there's not much time. Or like at six thirty I'll watch WHEEL OF FORTUNE or something like that.", "Right, well, our, yeah, if our gra, if our grandchildren are with us, that's, they have to watch that. We do n't watch it unless they're here", "Uh huh. No, I like that. No, I'll watch,", "But they, uh,", "game show kind of stuff but,", "It's, it's, um, oh, and, you know, the, the kids will get you started on stuff like AMERICA'S FUNNIEST HOME VIDEOS. We've wound up sending in one. That's something I did n't think that we'd ever do", "Did you send one?", "Yeah. My oldest grandson pulling his tooth. He's, he's, he would n't let us pull it, and I mean, it, it got to the point he was eating a pear here, and he bit into it, and it was just hanging by a thread. And I, and I'd tell him, you know, it's getting ready to fall out, and he walked around the house with his fa, face down toward the floor and his mouth open, hoping it would ( ( fall out ) ), because he would n't let anybody pull it."]}

Do you, have you ever had to put your children in, child care, Mary Dell?", " Oh yes. I'm an old experienced hand. I started back when it was n't, stylish to do that at all. My daughter that's seventeen now I worked even when she was a baby. And I had private care for both my daughters until they were two and then I was really lucky to have put them in a, Methodist day school at Preston Hollow Methodist, right off of Walnut Hill and Preston. And it was a wonderful environment. I, I just wish all kids, if they have to be put in day school, could have that kind of place", "Uh huh. I see.", " So, it worked well. How about you?", "Well, I have, uh, a nine year old and a six year old and neither one of them has ever been in in, uh, day care for the reason of, of me working but, uh, they both went through preschool. And, uh, we've just been real lucky I think, anyway. To not,", " It's not hard to find anything that's part time. So many of the churches have really strong", "Right, like half day programs. Uh huh.", " preschool and children's day out but, it was a nightmare back when Cheryl was little and this is one of the few churches that did it. There were a couple downtown Dallas but they were so, seemed,", "like water running > >.", "cold and impersonal, I just could n't hack it. And what I liked about Preston Hollow is that the people that were there when Cheryl was two, which was fifteen years ago, many of them are still there today. So there was real continuity. She went back as a teenager and these people that had changed her diapers when she was three were still there.", "Oh, my gosh.", "So, it, it was really neat. But it was because they had a director that had always done it as a labor of love and she just kept good people and", " Oh my goodness", " real cheerful place, lots of arts and crafts, and I'm really glad my kids had it because Plano schools do so little of that.", "Right. Right. Yeah.", " That if they had n't had it before they hit first grade they were never going to have any art or music or any of the interpretive stuff.", "Uh huh. Yeah, that is, uh, a big drawback I think in that, in the, uh, public schools out here. You know, to, you're lucky to have an art teacher and if you do you get them once a week or something, you know.", " Or pay for it after school. Our Emily's in the third grade over at Huffman and they started a pilot program where we can pay private tuition so that they can take French and music and art and", " Oh is that right? I had no idea.", " you know, I willingly did it but I thought, this makes me angry. This is something that ought to be in the schools", " Oh my goodness.", " rather than some of the other stuff they do.", " And with our budget cuts, I'm sure that's not going to not going to change anytime soon.", " Well that's the only way they're. Yeah, well, that's the only way they're going to be able to do it. And parents who really want their kids to have any humanities are going to have to do that.", "Oh my goodness.", " So, in some ways I think the, the day schools do serve those purposes.", "Yeah. That's true. Well even the preschools, you know they get so much of that in preschool and then when they hit kindergarten, you know, it's like wham Culture shock. It's just,", " Put the colors away", "Yeah, yeah. Get the computers out", " Which is too bad.", "and, you know. It's so difficult for them. Um, did you have your children, did you say in home, in, in, private care, was that in your home or in someone else's home?", " Until they were two. Yeah. Yeah, both times they were at our house.", "Uh huh. So you were able to have somebody come there.", " And that was hard too. I, I lucked out with really good people both times but I know so many people that are never able to find that and I'd practically give my paycheck away to do it, so", " Yeah. Yeah. Did you have a nanny or did you have someone that lived in with you?", "Well no, she did n't live with us. Uh, the first one was an, elderly lady who was putting a, a daughter through nursing school just purely on baby sitting money.", " Oh my goodness.", " And she kept Cheryl during the day and then did more baby sitting at night. And she was neat because she was like the grandmother that my kids never had because both our parents are dead. So that, that was a plus from that respect as well. And then with Emily it was a neighborhood friend that kept her.", "I have, uh,", "I just can not fathom putting a little bitty baby in a commercial care center.", " Uh huh. I was just listening to a program this morning, oh well, I guess it was on the HOME SHOW, but they were talking about, uh, a new, uh, oh I ca n't even think of the name of it. I was halfway listening while I was painting Um, it's some kind of advisory board they've put together for parents and children and they've now moved it to Washington, D C and the, the doctor that was on there, the pediatrician said, you know, I ca n't imagine leaving a three week old and taking them to a nursery day care and leaving them there.", " Oh that would be hard.", "You know, so, um,", "Well, they give a lot more leave. I work at N C N B now, and our benefits for maternal and, and parental care and even for elderly people are, are really expanding. We have more options now then we did when I, my kids were born, with being able to take off full time longer of, you can phase your schedule in so that it's not full time for", " Oh boy, that's great.", " up to six months. It's really neat. I've, I've had a couple of assistants that came back just three days a week or they've, you know, whatever schedule they want from a pay standpoint.", "Uh huh. Uh huh.", "We try to work it with their hours. And that helps because you do n't have to just wean yourself cold turkey and say okay, I never get to see my baby for eight hours a day again. And the bank has a lot of programs now for child care referrals. I've, of course it's too late for me so I've, I've not tried them to see how effective they are but", " Uh huh. Uh huh.", "I think we're finally beginning to make progress but just not very fast", " God, it's amazing faintly > >.", " And for our age group it's too late, too little, too late. But I, I do think it's an area that needs to be looked at and improved because more of us are going to have to work.", "Uh huh. Uh huh.", " Two income families I think are here to stay.", " Well and I would think, you know, since big business is supposedly why the government makes the decisions they do you know, the, the people that work in big business have families they have children. So, it's only to their advantage that they get these programs going and working and, uh,", "You retain employees and keep them longer. That's, that was the rationale they gave when they were giving us information about our Employee Assistance Programs that they want us to be happy and want us to be able to cope with trying to split ourselves in fifteen million pieces So, I, I hope it helps. It seems to help the new mothers", " Oh that's good.", " not have to come back full time. because that's hard.", " That's good to know. I have a couple of friends that, have, have found the, uh, you know, a pri, a private home to take their children to when they're young until they hit the preschool age. And they usually, you know, you'll find a, a woman that's keeping like six children or four to six children in the home and my future, future sister in law's mother does that too, full time.", " Well in Plano though the problem is, you find, and this is what I found with Emily. I, from the time she started first grade, I wanted her out in Plano area. And I kept finding neighbors and friends and they'd move. She ended up being in a different home every year.", " Too transit. Uh huh.", "And I finally decided I did n't like that because it was traumatic to her to get so attached to a family and then have them move.", "And her surroundings.", " So this year I, I tried Kinder Care and,"]}

Well, let's see, well, we keep our paper, paper bags lined up in the garage for glass and, glass and, uh, plastics and, uh, we make the dump over to the Wal Mart bins there as soon as they're full. I guess we collect m, milk cartons and whatever p, other plastics are acceptable.", "Are you in the part of town where, uh, they have gotten into the other containers yet for recycling?", "No, no, I did n't think that anybody had those at all yet.", "Well, maybe they do n't. I, I know that was supposed to be in May and I could n't tell whether some parts of town had started it or if it was just everybody was, was waiting for the delivery of whatever those containers were.", "Right. Well, no, I have n't seen any, so I, I thought that it all, had all been delayed several times. So I have no idea what they look like and, I'm kind of anxious to see them.", "That's going to be interesting because it's, uh, we've gotten so convenient and conventional in trash disposal which is uh, I look at our big green containers, and I say, well, they work fine and I keep mine outside the garage so that I do n't have any odors but it's clearly a place where, uh, uh, it will be interesting to see how well that works and I am, I'm glad the community is doing it. Uh, it's one of those things that kind of has to be forced on people. Uh, I do n't know if, where you grew up in your, what you saw back, uh, years ago, but for me the thing that strikes me is I, uh, growing up in rural South Dakota where, hey the farmers brought their eggs to town and the local hatchery would candle them and package them is that, uh, in the fifties, uh, you could say we had the recycling going on then that we should have now. Which was all the milk bottles were glass and you got a nickel or dime, which in that time was a lot of money, when you returned them. Pop bottles all had a deposit on them.", "Oh, of course. That, they did. You know actually, we had milk delivered to our house in glass bottles and we had a milk shoot at the side of the house. You could just leave the milkman a note on what you needed and so you just put the empty ones back out there and he took them away and put, you know, put another gallon of glass, glass bottle in there. So, uh, yeah,", "So, uh, you know, I look back at, at, uh, my childhood and I'd say, you know, they were doing things then that we should be doing now and so it does n't bother me at all that we're, we're, uh, kind of starting to put the pressure on people to get away from all this, uh, throwaway society that got developed in the sixties and seventies.", "Right, right, it would be nice, it would be nice to see it take a good turn here. It seems like it started to take a turn and then it went away so I hope that this time it, it stays. Just, To see stacks and stacks of newspapers just to the trash is just amazing. So, uh, you know, we, when we go dump, actually when we go dump our things, oh, we collect newspapers, too, and then take them, seems like there's a pretty well, there's a p, pretty continual flow of people coming and dumping glass and dumping plastics so that's kind of encouraging. I did n't know, you know, I did n't know if we started to do that. I did n't know what to expect.", "Yeah, well I'll have to say I'm, I'm, the only one I'm good at at this point is the newspaper. Uh, taking that to the Boy Scouts and my aluminum cans uh, getting rid of those, but on the plastic, I have, uh, I do n't have any habits there yet and I'm, guess I'm waiting for the city to, to push me in that direction but,", "Well, I guess they will shortly. I, uh,", "But, it just seems like on the larger scale that, you know, the, we always talk about in our society is that economic strife things and I think if, uh, if we just start to put, you know, the nickel deposit on things, like, uh, was the case years ago that, uh, it would have more immediate effect, uh, than, because I remember searching ditches for beer bottles because they were worth money and it seems like beer drinkers are among the worst for throwing things out the window and so outside my little town, we would, uh, go out and look for long neck beer bottle because they were worth something.", "Right. Do you know, I saw in Tom Thumb yesterday, I saw the return to the, uh, the small Coke bottles. And I do n't know if there's a deposit on those or not.", "I, well that's interesting because, they're back to glass, you're saying?", "They were glass, they were the glass, uh, well, let's see, they'd be, I do n't know, maybe ten ounce or six ounce or ten ounce. Sort of a small size, sort of a small size and, and we, anyway we just, we did n't stop and look them, look at them a long time but, and they were packed in the old sort of six pack stick them down, you know, uh sort of, sort of a basket", "The paper carton.", "Right, right, so, I had n't seen that in a long time.", "Yeah. Well, I mean the, you really look and say a lot of the things we need to do, we were doing and we had all the mechanisms in place with the fold up paper cartons, the wood uh, racks which now, basically, you could turn them into the plastic ones that would hold, uh, twenty four bottles. And, and, uh, uh, I'm not really say going back to good old days, but certainly we were doing things the way we think we should do them now.", "Yeah, yeah, well,", "Well, it will be interesting to see how, over the next year, this all works out because, like on the, uh, grass, I'm, I know your husband, uh, does n't really like the paper sacks.", "No, he does n't like the paper sacks and, uh, but he, but, you know, he likes to pick the grass up, too. He does n't,", "I'm the, I'm the same way because otherwise, uh, oh, I'm, I generally listen to Neal Sperry on Saturdays and Neal, uh, Neal's a person who says, I like to pick it up but I do n't believe in throwing it into the, uh, the landfill, so I have my compost pile, but most of us do n't have the, uh, sufficient, lot size to, uh, to do that. Uh, so I'm glad the city's willing to take that on.", "That's nice. I guess they dump it the same place, I wonder where they dump that.", "Well, there's someplace, you know, if it's, because really, when I look at what my grass does in, in actually about twenty four hours, uh, knowing what the farmers do in rural areas, they just take their hay and just build a big mound of it and it naturally, uh, composts or stores and, uh, so all you have to do is just place it somewhere and churn it and it will naturally decompose uh, so you just have to kind of keep in separated and then, uh, who knows how they process it from there and what they turn it into, but it's certainly usable material.", "Yeah, yeah, well they must, they must keep it separate if they have this date in. They have this day now, that it's, you know, separate from the other trash pick up.", "Right But, I, the thing I do n't understand about that is, like when, it's one thing to send grass there, but I've trimmed trees and other things which, uh, end up being something that, clearly wo n't decompose nearly as rapidly,"]}

Uh, do you want to go ahead or,", "Oh, sure. Uh, well I, uh, went to school at Madison for two years and they are really big on women's rights. And, and equal treatment. And so I, I've seen a lot of like rallies and things like that. But, uh, I'm not that liberated. I mean my mom is kind of old fashioned, you know. So, I, you know, you pick up some traits from her and stuff. But, uh, I think it's, I think it's interesting and better for women to see that there's more, more of them doing men's fields. I like to see that. And I do n't like to see women, you know, like waiting on men hand and foot but, you know, I, I believe in like sharing and doing things for each other.", "I do too. I like the idea. I see a lot more, uh, my children, I have five children and they're all married. And, uh, I love seeing the men help the women so much. And they both cooperate together on, I think it's great.", "Oh, me too I hope that happens to me someday. I mean, I, I do n't mind doing stuff. Uh, I have a boyfriend and I got to make him dinner and stuff but, you know, I, he'll help me do the dishes. I do n't want to, you know expect to help to clean up then after ( ( ) ) Yeah.", " That's right. That's right. I've always taught my men that. They better clean up with their women and help them. If they did that, you know. And they're, they're good about it. But it is neat to see them all work together. And a big thing that I see. All that, most of the, most of the women getting married now, uh, go back, have gone back to, you know, they, they stay at work or go back to work. Or whatever. And they're well educated. And I believe we'll see a lot more C E Os in companies. They're having a fit about how little there are. And I think we'll see a lot more. Do n't you? Of upper management?", "Oh, yeah. Uh huh.", "Then we do now, even. I think it'll escalate. And, uh, and I think black women now i, in fact I work at a high school. And my boss is a black woman and has only been there a couple of months and already promoted and she's very sharp. And I think that th, and the ethnic thing will be, you know, is a good thing now.", "Oh, me too.", "They're moving them up and they're sharp and they, so you're going to see a lot, a lot more of that in leadership I believe.", "Yeah. I like to see that. I think it's, uh, really neat to see and all that educated minority, uh, person who really knows what they're talking about. And it's just too bad that some people, you know, still look down on them just because of their color. You know.", "Right. That's ( ( a shame ) ).", " Especially black women.", "Yeah. But they ( ( would n't ) ) know what they're doing. But I'm not big on subserving as far as to the men at all. But I never have gone along with that, you know. Even far back. But I was brought up pretty good in a home that, years ago my mother was that way. The same. I, my bo, ther, you know, some people say oh the boys should n't have to do those jobs. The inside jobs. But we never were taught, they had to do as much as we did. So that was good.", " Right, same here. Yeah.", "So that's, I think that's good. To keep the equal as far as, as, uh, not, nex, nex, uh, necessarily by sex type thing.", "Right. Same here.", " You know. You should be able to accomplish as much. And I think the, uh, attitude is a lot better towards the parents raising the younger ones now. You see a lot more of the mothers and all saying to the young girls, you know you can do it. If he can do it, you can do it type thing.", "Exactly. I, I see more men, uh, like participating in like the family things with children. Like, you know, helping to take care of them more. And and, uh, uh, doing the jobs equally, you know,", "Right. What about politics on it? Do you think the political scene?", "I'm not that big on politics. I'm not that educated on it. I'm,", "I'm real dis, I'm kind of disgusted this year because I do n't see many women into the political scene and I really think we should have more", "Oh, yeah. I agree with that.", "political leaders in the women than we do up for, and even for President and Vice President this year, there's nobody again. I think they're all scared out after tha, after, uh, oh, what was the lady's name that ran a couple of, Fitz, I forget her name now.", "Oh, I do n't know", " But you know who I mean?", "Yeah, I know who you're talking about.", " Yeah. She took such a rough go of it. And they t, their tax deal and,", "Yeah. At least she was strong to like try it and you know. So that's good.", " But I wish they would get some more on that. I really was disappointed this year when I see any of the candidates talking that they're talking about. Uh, they, I did n't see any of the women in there. And that disappoints me. And right now I do n't think we have too many. Uh, th, in the forefront. Schroeder's about the biggest one in Washington."]}

I think the first thing they said, I have written this down so it would, is it p, do you think it's possible to have honesty in government or an honest government?", "Okay. You're asking what my opinion about, whether it's possible to have honesty in government. Well, I suspect that it is possible. Uh, I think it probably is more likely if you have a small government unit where everybody knows everybody.", "Right. That's a good point.", "But, uh, other than that I think maybe it just depends on how you define honesty.", "That's an int, you know, that's interesting. I had read something one time and it was just applying to governments in general, it was written many years ago. It said that it's impossible to have a completely honest system of government because people who choose government for their positions are power seekers. And I thought that was interesting. It was n't just talking about our government. It was just government in general. From times past, you know", "So they're saying that government officials would tend to be power seekers.", "Right. And that would be a next question to ask. or are they in there for their own gains, and personally I feel it's probably, there's probably some of each.", "Right. Yeah. But I think maybe a lot of them, um, say the more honest ones who are still looking out for themselves, it may be more matter of not what can I steal while in an office but how many friends can I make while, I'm in office. And, you know, how good a name can I make for myself and so forth. So I guess it would be like anything else. The president of General Motors probably has the same,", "And they talked, uh, the other, let's see. Third question was how m, ( ( ) ) serving for their own gains do you think goes on, then they, that's hard to answ, I'm sure there's a lot. But I agree with you, there's a lot in business. I think that's just, I think that's very normal, that we should not ex, ( ( I think, ) ) I think we put too much on politicians. We expect them to only be there to serve us, you know.", "I think a little more honesty in the campaigns would be, more to the point. If you knew what you were getting when you voted, uh,", "That's a problem, is n't it? It's interesting because I'm taking a Texas government class right now, and one of the things ( ( ) ) it's so easy to blame them to ( ( ) ) a lot of times I think it's our own fault. They lie to us because we do n't want to hear the truth.", " Yeah, they say you, get the government you deserve.", "If they tell us the truth, we do n't ( ( elect ) ) them and, Especially with all this fron, co, stuff coming up here lately about people's past, and I do n't know why anybody would want to get under that scrutiny anymore.", "It's hard to imagine.", "I think it's gotten just care, well, we're not talking about issues we're talking about somebody's personal life and, and we're getting away from what we ought to be looking at", "Yeah, and it almost seems like in order to avoid, uh, some of the scandal, you would have to have the kind of wife that you would only find, on, say in the ( ( Bobsy ) ) twins or, something like that", "You know, I also think it would be funny if we could know everything about the people that were in there and throw them out. I do n't think there would be too many ( ( left ) )", "So you're taking a government course? At what? The university?", "Uh, at, uh, it's T C J C. Tex, Tarrant County Junior College. And it's really, it's really enjoyable. I like it. And then they also, you know, ask can we eliminate, do you think we could make laws to eliminate all corruption, and I do n't think we can make laws to eliminate anything anyplace totally.", "You can make laws against corruption", " Yeah, but that,", " But that does n't eliminate it, does it?", "does n't mean, I do n't think making laws will stop it. I mean I do n't know how many laws you would have to have. I mean, No, sure did n't,", " Milwaukee, did it?", "So no, I think you can legislate but I think there's no way that you eliminate it all by legislating, and we would end up with so many more laws that, you know, I mean I just think that's human nature that you're going to have corruption in government, in business, personal life, I mean, you know.", "Actually, I think other countries may have it worse, uh, the Japanese government is always having a, some kind of a scandal. Usually involving the Prime Minister or people very close to him.", "Yeah, I still believe I get very fed up with government sometimes but when I think about where I'd want to go, you know, this is still the best or I can,", "Yeah, I've been around to a few other countries and I, uh, I, I have not found one yet that I would rather live in.
