[IL-Talk] Let's Remember Who We Are

[Robert Hansen]

It's going to be real hard to avoid. These funding cuts are not a good
thing. So I don't know what we're supposed to do and how we're supposed to
be informed about things if we don't step in it a little bit. You know it's
hard enough as it is in life these days. Life's just gotten to the point
where it's brutal out there. So we know we might have to step in it once in
awhile. I mean that's all I'm saying. I'm glad bill posted this article.
And I think it's very informative. Thank you Bill for posting the article.
It's just one of those topics that's unavoidable nowadays.
