  Gee, so you don't have the guts to stand by your own past posts on the Palin subject. I won't bother to dig them up but they were downright weired.

  I don't see her at this point in time as being our next president. But I think you have over reacted again on the subject -She is a very polarizing political figure on the scene. Maybe that is what this country is ready for. God knows progressives and their President have taken the lead in the "take it or leave it" , "my way or the highway" "shut up and sit in the back of the bus" method of dealing with the other side. Palin, the 'horses patoot', 'dimwit' who is 'crazy' 'deluded' and 'awful' might just get shoved down your throat like Obama was for conservatives. Those poor folks who "express reservations about her suitability for office" are just being picked on, huh?

  Go to one of those import stores like Cost Plus or Pacific Imports and get a couple of Japanese three panel screens. Some are very inexpensive and for a few bucks more you can get something that is very attractive.

  I guess there are a hundred ways to avoid the point when you are challenged. So nuttin' means nuttin' here. The Biz is on record about Palin. It is beyond political discord. Sarah Palin pushes some peoples buttons.

  Is this wall for visual privacy or do you require sound insulation also? big difference. Are you trying to make a small studio/set for the production of amatuer porn? What are you trying to do? Tri-fold screens are easy but don't provide sound insulation like if you are sharing quarters with someone who plays music late or whatever. If you just want to prance around in the au natural you can string a rope and put a curtain up. Need more info. to address your problem.

  Since our current President was elected, I would say the dynamics of whether a particular individual, male or female, is "fit" to hold the office have changed dramatically. The bar has been lowered to the point that just about anybody with a pulse could hold the office. Obama is an empty suit that many people think is a great orator.

  Sarah Palin has had to deal with the double whammy of being an attractive woman who chose not to abort a child with Downs syndrome, likes to hunt and fish, was a very capable governor of her state, has a real family life, etc etc. She has taken a prominent position on the political scene because of her beliefs. They resonate with a lot of people.

  This puts her in the gunsights of every disgruntled, bitter, liberal loser, (especially females) who can't even run their own lives with much success. Seems they can discuss almost any political subject except Palin without the spittle flying! LOL. So obvious!

  Speaking of which, Hemp, thanks for the correction of my statement re. the impact of Palin vs Obama in the elections. But it really didn't change my point, did it?

  In Obama's "shellacking" speech/press conference yesterday it was very obvious that his faux humble act involved dropping his 'G's. This was not an accident. It is simply an actors method for appearing like a humbled man. Go back and watch how contrived it was.

  Palin's speech is consistent with her regional pronunciations and is genuine. I think she is refreshing and quite intelligent. In many ways, she won the elections she supported. Obama and Biden came a cropper in every election they got involved in with personal tours.

  PS Is not the double standard of respect for women obvious when the Palin haters keep depicting her in photo shopped cheesecake pics.?

  The book is almost 600 pages and I am only up to about 80 so I haven't gotten into the details of he and Micks falling out(s)...

  I have to mention that although I am a fan of the Stones since they came on the scene 40 yrs ago when I was a JW and I wasn't even supposed to listen to R&R, I am not a 'worshipper'.

  My interest is based on a couple of really good book reviews and a fascination with the life of a guy who started out in the slums of jolly ol' and became filthy rich and famous. He is two years older than me but I have to say he makes me look twenty years younger than him! He writes about his life in a very down to earth honest narrative that is refreshing coming from a guy that has lived his life.

  He writes about the subject of taking care of ones body. "The body, you take that for granted. Doesn't matter what you do to it, it's supposed to work. Forget about taking care of it."

  He explains why he let his teeth go to hell. Post war England provided some health care and dentistry was downright primitive for the poor. He had a few horrific sessions in the dentist chair as a young teen and never went back.
