Uh, you know whether you thought it was more of a biased or whatever but I, I guess you wouldn't. You probably, if you just watched it during the Gulf War, that probably wouldn't wouldn't tell you much. Yeah, well during that small sample, I would think that everyone was just about, just about the same, except the thre...
That's true. Uh, but, uh, no I don't really have a budget at the moment. Uh, but I have uh, I have a rough feel for how much money I can afford to spend each month and then I don't, usually don't exceed that unless I, unless the VISA bill gets out of hand for one reason or another, like if I have car expenses and then ...
We have this dream. Yeah. But, we don't know how long it will be a dream. We, we're kind of real, we're real happy that we don't have any debt, but we're at the same time we're real scared about incurring it in this, uh, economy right now so we're stepping real careful and trying to see what's the best way to save what...
Africa, Nigeria. Really. Yeah. Really. How long would you be there? About four years. We're career so, we, we go over seas for four years and then we come back for a year. We go over four, we come back for a year. With, with what Church? Uh, we're with Wycliff Bible Translators. Oh yes. Yes, So. I, uh, I know who they ...
they could very well and, There, there was, uh, you know, there was a fairly large building that that was well that belongs to them. So, uh, are you, uh, are you, uh, active in translation? Uh, we will be. I was over, over four years doing language surveying which is the first step. You're kind of like the scout that g...
I'm not bilingual in any of them because I kept switching from one area to the other, you know, since I did you know, complete a survey in one area, I'd switch to the other. Uh-huh So I know the greetings in about ten, and how to do market stuff, but in about, uh, about five I guess, I can do better in it. And my Frenc...
In Uh, I don't know what I said to him but, uh, I didn't ask him either. Must have been terrible. The, uh, was it Henry Macon said that the, the, uh, language was like a man slowly bleeding to death. So they hemorrhaged him to death without new infusions that will eventually die and I, it just amazes me that the French...
Okay. Okay, so I just press one then right? Right. Okay, ready? Yep. Okay So, so you think, uh, I think that a short work week is real nice. Uh, I have a thirty-seven hour work week. How about you? Well, well right now, I, I'm just a student. I only work part time, but I've work in the job force before Uh-huh. and fort...
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. Uh-huh. Right. 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 w...
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...
I'm, I'm in my thirties, okay. Yeah. And so I have a lot of job experience and my instructor thrives on that because he can just tell me what he wants and he can give me access and tell me what to do and just turn me loose Yeah. but in, in the same token, it's a very, really enjoyable for me because I don't have to hav...
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, that's just great. You have what you might call knowledge power Right. you know, when when you work at a company whether you know...
Well, what were you saying? Okay. I, I think we're started now. Oh, okay. Uh, do you want to go ahead and start? Uh, well, I haven't really been up to date on a lot of music. I've been in school and I haven't really gone out, and bought any or listened to much on the, on the radio except for classical and, uh, Well, yo...
No. I think I, I might like dancing to it but I don't like listening to it. The, the kind of country I like is kind of the older country music. Not the, not the kind like Kenny Rodgers and stuff like that. Oh. That's, uh, that's a little bit to, uh, they're trying to make it too much of a crossover thing, you know what...
sometimes I do. I mean, not all the time. Oh. Oh, okay. Well, I guess I, I like the blues a lot and I guess you could say it's similar as far as the kind of the way they do it. Yes. And I I, I do too. I also like jazz. Yeah. Me too, too. I guess I like except heavy metal and, uh, most rap I don't like. Yeah. Yeah. Yo...
And I can, I can barely watch anymore because, uh, they have this heavy metal stuff on there and, and I can't even, you know, I can't like that. Yeah. And, and I liked, uh, Aerosmith and Led Zepplin and, uh you know, and, uh, jeez who else is there. Van Halen. Uh-huh. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Now I like, I like groups like th...
I've been pretty busy. Uh Okay. but, uh, so no I haven't. I, you know, I used to go out and dance a lot but I don't do that anymore either So. Oh, I see. Are you married at all? No Okay I've just been real busy with, with lots of other things. Well, how old are you? Twenty-eight. Okay. So, you, you were out of you went...
And then I just started, I started back a year and a half ago. Changed directions. Oh, okay. Yeah. How old are you? Oh, I'm, uh, twenty-eight I was born in sixty-three I guess we're the same age then. Oh, okay All right. Yeah. And, uh, I didn't really start getting into music until I went to college because, uh, my pa...
But I know what I like when it's, uh, when I like a sound. A certain kind of sound, yeah. My parents were very musical. My mother had a piano in the, in the house. Uh, Uh-huh. My father likes, uh, country western music. Okay. He's from, uh, West Virginia. So that's what he grew up listening to. Uh-huh. And he's always ...
My mom likes like, uh, Doris Day, you know. Oh, really. She always had those, these old Doris Day records and stuff like that, though. Oh, well. So, you know, I grew up listening to that stuff. Yeah. But, uh, I could see why you went, uh, you know, I could see why you were kind of sheltered I guess from, from music. Y...
THIS LOVE CUTS LIKE A KNIFE. Uh, SUMMER OF SIXTY-NINE. Uh-huh. I think I've heard SUMMER OF SIXTY-NINE. Yeah. He sings that. Yeah. He's, he's from Canada. Okay. I'm not, I'm not very good at remembering the, uh titles, The titles and artists. yeah, but I can remember this, the song. Yeah. Well, do do you watch music te...
No. Oh, okay. That's, that's No. you have to get cable to get those stations anyhow. Yeah. So. But, uh, yeah. I like to watch rock and roll videos and any kind of videos. Uh-huh. I like watching that kind of thing. It's, Do you like, uh, like someone recent? Like Enya? Have you ever head of her. She's not rock but she,...
And, uh, she's gotten some, uh, she's been on like the top ten, I guess, or whatever. Oh, really. She, she did Okay. So how serious is the, subject of crime in your area? Well, needless to say, here in Washington, D C this is the war zone. Uh, D C around here stands for drug capital or death capital. It's, uh, it's rea...
Uh-huh, right. That's how they, uh, they bind themselves together in groups, I guess and, uh, Yeah. Now, the, interestingly enough, I don't think we have here, a, a lot of gangs, but, uh, only a couple, uh of, not a whole large group of them, but, uh, just a few. Most of them centered around, uh, drug territory. Uh-huh...
Right. Just wait for you to drive to your house, you get out and they get in off they go with your car. Wow. So it's, uh, I think they call it car jacking around here Yeah, yeah, I'd heard that phrase. Uh-huh, yeah, that's kind of the latest thing, but every year in the D C area it gets progressively worse as far as th...
And we've just come from twenty years in the military and, uh, which is an entirely different environment, so this is a whole new thing for for us to, to have to put up with and it's, uh, really scary sometimes. Yeah, there aren't that many, places that are safe from that sort of thing nowadays. Right. And it's pretty ...
because, I mean, you know, the parents aren't making a living at anything. Right Uh, And they see all their friends and neighbors, uh, And they're accidental parents half the time anyway. Yeah, and their friends are driving Mercedes and, so it's actually, they grow up with that as their way of life and, uh, I think, uh...
Well I think that the drug thing would actually be relatively easy to solve in terms of, of an actual solution to the problem. Uh Uh-huh. the, the social, the other social problems wouldn't, wouldn't go away. Right. Uh, They've always been with us. I mean, there's, there's been a lot of, uh, and I used to think that th...
They worry about it afterwards and then they try and get out of it. And, uh, how about you Well, I think that in some cases, it is warranted. Uh-huh, I do, too, yep. And I don't, I think in some cases it doesn't matter if it's a deterrent or not. Uh-huh, yeah, you still have to do it. I, I, I mean I mean, I'm thinking ...
Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Needs to be punished or, uh, eliminated from society. I mean, you can't guarantee that they wouldn't escape from prison and do it again. Right. And then do it all over again. Uh-huh. And I don't think that, that rehabilitation is effective. Right. Have to agree with you, and I'm kind of in favor of capi...
uh-huh. and I don't think, that would really warrant capital punishment. Uh-huh, huh. Do you think they should be punished at all, or, uh, like go to prison, uh, because they're not really a danger to society. It was almost really self defense, isn't it, in a case like that. Uh it is to a certain extent Uh-huh. but I t...
So if somebody killed somebody in your family then you had the right to, uh, if that person was caught and found guilty, you had the right to, uh, execute that person. And I know that, uh, if somebody had done something to my family, I would feel that I had the right to, to get revenge on them and, uh, but, I, I don't ...
But, There's a lot of folks, probably, that are in prison that, uh, that aren't really a danger to society, huh, and, uh, And a lot of people that are a danger to society that aren't in prison. Right. Right, probably more of them then the other way around Interesting. I don't, I don't, not sure I, I'm in Washington, D ...
You know, so, uh, the only thing we're, you know, that we do now is, uh, I keep a, a little spread sheet of, uh, what I call the net worth calculation which is just the, the present value of various kinds of investments and so worth. Uh, and I only update that, oh I don't know, maybe once every quarter or so. Every thr...
Oh, I see. Are you, are you married? Are you living with a bunch of, with, with people that you're sharing expenses? Uh, no. I'm a single mother. I have three children. Oh, I see, uh-huh. So, uh, right now, we're on, we get you know, aid from the state at this point because there's no other way to do it. And my ex-husb...
but they probably won't because next week the kids have school vacation. I see. So, you know, the four days before, they only have a four day week Uh-huh. and they usually don't need subs because everybody's pretty good about coming in oh, I see. They don't like to be absent before a vacation. Oh, sure. But we're shopp...
Oh, my Lord. his company went broke. I mean went, you know, bankrupt. Actually, it was a subsidiary of a, of an outfit called U S Shoe or something. it was a computer subsidiary. I don't know what a shoe company's doing running a computer company. Really. But, uh, you know, they just folded it up and, uh, uh, told him ...
Definitely. Do you have, do you have a computer at home or, Uh, yes we do. And we try to, Uh-huh. you know, I keep track of every penny. And, more or less, enter it in. Uh-huh. Every single day I'm at the computer. I see. And, it's like, okay, what do we have left, what do we have to pay, what have we paid this month...
Well, they do have, uh, a major internal problem Everybody wants to defect, and I can understand why. Um, I think their biggest problem is just, you know, obtaining food to live, so when you have the basic needs, uh, being unmet I don't think you think globally as far as, you know, being a threat to other people in the...
and I think it's a step in the right direction. I think Gorbachev realizes that he's got a, a major uh, uh, power figure, you know, competing against him, and I think it's going to be pretty close to his demise if he doesn't follow suit with Yeltsin as far as, uh, realizing, well, he does realize it, you know, with the...
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 perestroika and stuff, and I think he's got between the Old Guard and, in and the new, uh, glasnost. Uh, I think it's ki...
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'...
and you can'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 th...
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, don'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 don't have. Yeah I agree So the origina...
and they have to eat and everything else, and I just don't feel that ... Okay. Well why don't you start cause it said I was suppose to ask you what do you, Do you have any elderly relatives currently in an, uh, nursing home now? Yes, I do. Do you? I have a grandmother. She's a hundred and two. Oh my gosh. She'll be a h...
She takes care of her own business. This is the first year that she has gotten weak and actually has to have a little walker, but with somebody that needs around the clock care, I have seen my family age. Right. I have seen them in the, she's been there ten years now. And I have seen them age twenty in the time and, an...
but they were very fortunate. It's a small town and she happens to room with one of the doctor's mothers and then she's got a lot of family there and that go and see her all of the time Oh, well that's good. but she really doesn't. Nobody thought she would adjust, but she has adjusted beautifully. Oh, that is great. Bu...
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, l...
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. Right. It, it takes every penny. They want you to spend every dime y...
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. It's unfortunate. I, I work at a brokerage firm and I have seen so many people that just have to gift, you know, their belongings as much as they can each year in anticipation of having to move to a...
Everybody that has, has them later in life. Yeah. So, my, my mother and my father are in their late sixties. So, I mean, they're not that far away. Right. I also see on my generation a squeeze between looking to having to help my parents and still having to help my son because things are so rough out there job wise and...
And that's the bad thing. I would hate to have lived so long. She lived by herself. My grandfather passed away before I was born so she lived by herself up until she was ninety, ninety-one. And just did everything, That's incredible. Hello Ann. Hello Chuck. Uh, the other day, I attended a conference here at Utah State ...
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 Yeah. and they could sell it for a while. They were able to sell it for some amount per ton and now at this stage...
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 un...
but there is a lot of energy in it if you can burn it and use it, produce electricity. Huh. 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 what what about emissions? Yeah. And it's more than even paper or something like that. The...
well, real interesting. Did it change anything for you? Uh, not too much. Uh, I got a bit. Actually, So, uh, you know, my feeling is that, uh, it's really being used today, it, it, you know, it, it really isn't doing any real good purpose for anything because it's not cost effective because of the amount of time the pe...
I don't need to care about this. You know, I, I, I'm never going to get caught. Yeah, Yeah, but you also have to think whether it's worthwhile on the individual basis, for example, someone like, uh, Jeffrey Dahlmer, do you want, by putting him in prison for life, there is still a possibility that he will get out again....
Yeah, it's, it's, yeah, once you've made a decision that way, it's a little difficult to go back on it. Right, you, you can apologize nicely, but, you know, you know, I think, you know, the, the price, you know, it, I've heard quotes, you know, it's better that a thousand people go free, than one person be unjustly imp...
They risk their lives every day. Yeah, and, there, there, they seem that the profit uh, drug dealers, the profit margin's so high that, yeah the, the risk is almost not there. Yeah. Yeah, and, and, you know, uh, especially, now, I live in, in Massachusetts, you know, we're going to get capital punishment here probably ...
Also a lot of young people. You know, a, a, a sixty-two year old guy is less likely to be put on death row from what I've seen. Right. And, you know, I, I think when you listen to like the, uh, the, the victims' families and things, they're always talking about, you know, uh, feeling justified or feeling, you know, lik...
and why, does it just turn out to be genetic or biochemical in origin. Right. So if someday we can go to Jeff Dahlmer and say, well, the problem is you, you've got an endorphin imbalance and, you know, if you take this regularly, you'll be a sane and productive member of society you know, Uh-huh. you really get back to...
Criminal courts? Yes. Yeah. the one of which was, uh, something, something that's been going on because of the Rodney King trial here in town and that is, uh, and that is the exclusion of jurors because of or in spite of their race. Uh, Oh, really? Yeah. Well, they, they, uh, the, the people that the, uh, the jury that...
and it's kind of, it's kind of debatable whether you could get a fair trial almost anywhere because that, uh, that, Well, that videotape was just horrible. Yeah. It was everywhere. Yes. So you know, and I, I think it would be very difficult to find someone, uh, find a panel that would be, not have seen it and, and know...
How interesting. Oh. So what's the prevailing thought within the community? Um, I mean you know, what the news media is going to make of it, but what about the community? They, well, I guess it depends on who you talk to. I haven't talked to, uh, I haven't talked to a whole lot of black people on it but I, I rather ima...
Uh-huh. There. *listen Well, But that's, that's interesting. Yeah. Um What about the judge who's hearing the case? Is he going to be impartial? Is he going to, be a a good adjudicator? I don't know. You know, and, and again there's something else you know, there was a uh, something else along those lines. There was a g...
And, and, oh, of course, they, you know, the criminal case went up and, and the judge gave the woman who shot her, shot the girl a, uh, uh, practically a suspended sentence. I mean it was it was just, Oh, my goodness. she gave her no time in jail, you know, all of these things and then, oh, there's we have these, we ha...
Okay. 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 ver...
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 nursi...
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. Right. 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 sol...
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 couldn't, someone visited him every day. It was in a very small town nursing home. Uh-huh. And, uh, peopl...
it's like a newborn baby. You need to have twenty-four hour care uh, answering all the needs cause they can't do much for themselves at certain points. Uh-huh. Right. 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 ...
And, you know, the rest of the housekeeping and other meals a day are up to him. Uh-huh. 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-huh. Uh, you know, to move into that facility we moved him from Florida up to ...
although I saw a survey recently and I'm actually making just about as much as, you know, I'm making actually over average, over the average for my career, my experience and all that stuff which kind of surprised me. Oh, that's good. Uh-huh. What kind of a degree have you got? I've got a Bachelor's in electrical engine...
Uh. Yeah. That's good. 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, Uh-huh. so, uh, it's not but there's full, uh, there's several medical plans to choose from, uh, that cover pretty much e...
So that you've got small, small things to gripe about. Right. Wow. And, Well, that sounds like you must feel really good about it. Yeah, yeah, and, and the dental plan is The dental plan, I pay absolutely nothing because, uh Wow. I, I guess they would charge a little bit if there was some orthodontia or something for o...
I also have a part time job at a law firm and I get no benefits from them, to the part time work although, they pay better per hour than my, my sort of, quote, real job does. Uh-huh. 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...
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 plan at this point. Uh, but, uh, it could be better, that's for sure, and, uh, but, you know there...
Wow, that's fabulous. Yeah it, You see, now that's, that's interesting, because I have a cousin whose husband works for Hewlett Packard up in the Massachusetts area. Oh, yeah? Yeah. He, he lives in Andover Uh-huh. and, uh, the work that he, he's, uh, specifically an engineer and, and does work with, uh, the Hewlett Pac...
yeah. And, In fact, I know a guy who works at Andover who used to work, who I used to work with out here Uh-huh. and he moved his family back east a few years ago to, to take that position. Kind of interesting. Uh, anyhow, Steve, uh, with the election year and whatnot coming up, do you think we ought to cut taxes, rais...
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 uh, I me...
I'm not exactly sure, uh, about polio in particular. I know we have a polio vaccine come will prevent somebody from getting polio Uh-huh. 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 don't know. Uh, the other thing that, uh, I remember se...
Uh-huh. 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. Yeah. Uh, Pork barrel politics. Pork barrel politics. there has to be some way to do it. I know state governors usua...
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...
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 ...
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. Really? 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 ...
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, Yeah. 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 dru...
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, Uh-huh. it could still happen then. Yeah, that's true, but you'd be surprised also how, much people watch you that even not, uh, p...
Have you seen, uh, have you, uh, ever heard of ALL THINGS CONSIDERED? No, we don't have the, uh, national public radio in, in my area. Uh-huh. I can hear it at the, uh, uh, oh, the college town nearby when I'm in Stillwater, which is about an hour away, but the F M signal doesn't reach this far. Uh-huh. Uh, I'll listen...
It's, B B C is, uh, oh, I don't know the right word, is, is almost, uh, they almost take all emotions out of it when they report it Uh-huh. and it just, they seem to give more of just the facts than opinions. Do you think, then, that, uh, the American media is presenting an opinion along with their facts? Uh, very much...
And a lot of time I don't hear exactly what they, what they write into it. Uh-huh. So I, overall, I think I would rather hear just straight reporting.
