My Momma told me not to talk politics or religion in mixed company – I guess this as mixed a company as it gets.
I like a debate maybe more than the next guy. But sometimes this place seems silly.
All Numbers, Prophesies, Doom, Preparations, Rationalizations and such.
So much stuff but not much really real – like talk of family or a word to our fellow POers we talk to pretty regularly.
As someone mentioned to me lately: not a word of thanksgiving over the last weeks.
I’d like to say thanks to those who have inspired, spanked, educated, cussed, argued and thanked me.
Thanks to you and the best to you and your family through the winter.
The legitimate object of government, is to do for a community of people, whatever they need to have done, but can not do, at all, or can not, so well do, for themselves -- in their separate, and individual capacities.
-- Abraham Lincoln, Fragment on Government (July 1, 1854)
