Hey, this is Barbara. I’m calling about the ECUA graph bill. The first bill was not for a month. The second bill was. Duh. Bye.

Hey, this is Dennis Dean. Life can deal many people of different color a hard blow. I was told by the older people in my family, which most are gone now, that we were of Native American, Irish, Jew, and Dutch descent. The Native American was Seminole and Choctaw. Boy, they got a raw deal. I believe they used to own a good part of Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. The Irish part of me married the Native Americans. Way back when the Irish were probably viewed as white trash. The Jewish part of me were slaves for hundreds of years, first by Egypt, then by the Babylonians and later by the Nazis. They are still persecuted today. Slavery still exists today, if in America I would probably think it would be labor or sex slavery. The Romans practiced equal opportunity slavery. They didn’t care what color your skin was, they would make you a slave. Am I angry about the way my ancestors were treated? The answer would be no, that’s just the way it was.
