Buck,

"They both have had special treatment and both have some level of warts but it is not an issue either should have made a campaign highlite because it is fraught with misinformation"

On that much I certainly can agree with you.

However, I personally have a bigger problem with Bush's service record than with Kerry's. Be that as it may...


I wish to thank you for your advice and suggestions regarding my back and my retirement. I do recognize and understand the importance, necessity, and value of saving for one's retirement, but as I said, up to this point I have honestly done the best I could. And it wasn't always easy. But I know full well that I must begin to put away some money, sooner rather than later, and not rely on my state pension and social security to be enough. Thank you again, I do respect your wisdom and experience.

Finally, I also wish to thank you for your words of support regarding my job. I am accustomed to being disparaged and unappreciated. In my line of work we are damned if we do and damned if we don't. Thank you again for your acknowledgement and understanding of what I posted on this subject.

Respectfully,

Jim
