This form of Paganism existed in Britain of the Middle ages, full of spiritual beings, full of magic, alive with heavenly power existing on Earth.

The Woodbridge Democratic Committee was handing out her literature. I did not see either candidate there personally but I was told that they both showed up. I did however speak to representatives from both booths. Nobody knew much of anything except the names of the candidates. I asked a few questions about issues that might affect the people of Woodbridge but never got any answers. From Bob Franks' representative I got a single piece of literature and a balloon and was told to call campaign headquarters for more information. From the Woodbridge Democratic Club I received a single piece of literature and a lot of "I don't knows." Very impressive. Who are these people and what do they stand for? No paper on a political campaign is complete without taking a look at the ...
