[SEL] Kerosene Question/now grass and MAYTAG sign

[Judge Tommy Turner]

Dave,
    I am going to loan you a copy of a book written by Gatewood 
Galbraith.  Gatewood has run for Governor (three times), Congress, 
Attorney General and Commissioner of Agriculture.  He's run as an 
Independent, Dem. and under the Reform Party's banner.  While he's never 
won, he has run some respectable campaigns as he still has the 
distinction of being the third highest Reform Party vote getter in 
America (Ross Perot was first and Jesse Ventura was second) during his 
'99 run for KY Governor.  He runs on a platform of legalizing 
Marijuana.  I was reading his book the other night and he talks about 
the first time he took LSD.  He said it opened his eyes to the world and 
changed his perspective on life.  He said he began to realize that there 
was some profound unexplained matters on this earth..... like, is yellow 
really the best color for bananas?  There are 10 running for Governor in 
KY this year and the votes will be split wide open.  Depending on how 
many folks out there like to smoke a joint, you never know.  This time 
next year we may be talking about "Governor Gatewood".
