I Think

Has he a choice ed? Does anybody know what they are doing?

Been reading about the Scooter Store. They were raided by the feds and this morning I saw on TV they laid off their workforce. Fortunately for a guy I know, he already got his. I see him make beer runs on it several times a month.

There is an article on facebook that claims records are becoming popular again. It would be more so if they still made dependable, affordable, turntables. The last three I bought broke down very shortly after I began using them.

He has more choices than he uses. After he vowed to let Bush's tax cuts to the rich expire permanently, he negotiated a deal with Republicans that coincidentally preserved the tax cuts for the segment of the rich that contributes the most to political campaigns.

No need to bitch about daylight savings. It's gonna happen anyway ((IO&%^

My father in law died thirty years ago. My wife still makes regular trips to his grave. That's where she is heading this morning. I have never seen anybody else so faithful. My close relatives are buried in Corpus Christi, so I rarely get to do that.

I watched Fort Apache yesterday. I did not remember that Henry Fonda's character got himself and his soldiers killed. I thought I recalled they were rescued at the last minute. Oh, well.

Many threads discuss such minutiae that I cannot stay engaged. My mind goes for the broader points and lets the details fall in place on their own. Of course, I am not that well educated, but I suspect education would not mend that flaw in my character.

In the case of many discussions in A2K...that is NOT a flaw...and my guess is that "more education" and more actual intelligence...would only confirm that much of the "minutiae" is nonsense...and should bore reasonable people to the point where they cannot stay engaged.

It depends what you mean by education ed. The Devil is in the detail. The broader points usually have ambiguity.

If things go to form the $85 billion sequester will lead to increased government spending. See Hutber's Law.

The bombastically expressed confidence that our leaders know what they are doing is a sign that they don't. We now elect people who are "good on TV".

Being bored by the detail is merely an excuse for an inability to get to grips with it.

Equality for Women is a nice broad brush statement that defies opposition. Yet I think it will lead to a disaster for women.

As my kindly ole step daddy used to tell me, "You can tell me exactly when a TV show comes on, but you don't know anything else you're asked." Much of it is conditioning.

Think: 21ST Century, spendi. Woman has been freed from the kitchen. She has brains and strength. Why should she not be allowed to use them?

More broad brush platitudes to support another BBP. They go round in circles.

I can't argue with obstinance.

In which case you should take care when recommending what is good for women.

Our professional schools in the US reflect that "Awakening demographic". Most of the new enrollments and , in med school at least, most of the students are now women.
Seems that men have taken their rightful place on the Barco in front of a TV all the while issuing sage advice about what is best for women.

Lucky for you, Frank, you've not been saddled with such problems.

Unfortunately, men are trying to control women's bodies by implementing federal (and state) legislation to take away their freedoms to do as they please. The surprising part of all this is that some women support the men in their efforts to control their bodies.

The men's efforts to control women's bodies only applies to US women! That should tell us something about their belief system. They don't even know the majority of women they're trying to control.

Hypocrites!

I recommend Chapter 13 (An Abyss of Inequality) of Prof. Larzer Ziff's little book: The American 1890s. The Prof. applies his astute literary expertise in that chapter to the works of Sarah Orne Jewett, Mary Wilkins Freeman and Kate Chopin.

By "to do as they please" I assume you mean under your surveillance and with your approval. As a general principle the idea is ludicrous. If they could do what you recommend they would wring our ******* scrawny necks.

You're simply looking for cheap Brownie points ci. Your fatuity has landed Ms Vicky Price an 8 month stretch today simple because the defence of martial coercion is now considered sexist. She, a mother and grandmother, and an adviser (now former) on economic affairs to HM Gov. is a victim of your ideology and all she did was what any loyal wife would have done and a few hundred thousand are known to have done from surveys by motor insurance companies. A PC martyr.

Good evening farmer.

Sometimes you're unbareable, Spendius.

That's when I know I have hit the mark osso.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk, Spendi. You've failed to follow another prescription. Is this another example of your undisciplined mind?

Didn't you also remark that capitalizing the first letter of people's names is a prescription worthy of being followed?

Do you need a refresher at brain boot camp?
