I just want to celebrate
another day of livin'
--I just Want to Celebrate, Rare Earth

______________

We at Ranger humbly celebrate our millennial post today.

A heartfelt thanks to our faithful band of readers, old and new, and your comments. We have met some super people -- true world citizens (including Americans) -- and made some friends. We look forward to more dialog.

When standing with incredulity before the newspaper each morning, it is heartening to know you are not alone, cathartic to get it out and illuminating to get feedback from multiple points of view.

What's gonna change in the next 2 1/2 years? A return to democracy here at home? Only the shadow knows. Whatever, we will continue from our critical posture on the current audacity of the inanity.

Here's to the next millenium. Cheers.
