Fair enough. I had the same idea too. It's more tranquil in here, don't you think?
My oh my babe. Just like the Turkish poster Tarkanian, you keep adding new heavy merchandise to my vocab pannier. That (the one before this quote in the welcome thread) was a hard post to read and understand for me with a lot of dictionarial help -thank Goodness to internet. But it goes by the territory of having a nick like that I guess.
This LaRouche family you speak highly of. Why are you putting them in a spot of the Mormons you say you are rooted in? Do you think today's Mormon community is a lesser one to the one that had lived in the foundation times and were more idealistic in character? Also I figured that Larouche Jr is a Friends member. Do you have any connection to them ideally? Your remarks sometimes strike me as if you are an extremely bored materialist with a lot of critique to cast upon your environment while havin' fun with it, but I think you are pretty religious, but couldn't tell you believe in the Mormon religion or just a Christian scholar searching for his idealistic notions of belief and practice.
I also would like to say that those Statist perps you speak of are the real ones that have the ability of ignoring the existence and functioning of the state and have their way with any aspect of it compared to Marxists, who seem to be a lot more addicted to discipline, a forced myth of a virtue that is probably as old as state itself.
yah, I have wondered where you're from. I used to think you were LA solid liberal, like outta UCLA or USC or that liberal arts college in Clairmont like AP or something. . . . Then when you suggested I'd be surprised I put it to Shanghai. Lol.
youngsters going heavy on the books get snared by ideological/historical visions of an older generation of writers quite often. Kinda hard to have a toy and not play it hard. Ideas are like toys in our minds. We work with what we have, maybe too much.
Having a few cows to study has changed my whole world view.
A cow does not have ideology, or vested intellectual stakes in some theory or another of international politics. They sit in the sun, swat flies with their tails, get a big drink of water once or twice in a day, and eat everything in sight. What a life. They "own" nothing, but you have to have the means to enforce your way if you want to push them around.
More and more, the power-conscious among us envision world schema wherein we are their cattle. I just think we should reject all that nonsense, and somehow ease them on down the road by unseating them from government positions, and bankrupting their businesses by peaceful non-participation in their products. Lol. Can you imagine not using a car? Or raising your own tomatos in your front yard?
Well, at least we should reject the preachments of mainstream media retailers and state-run educational systems. And somewhere, get ourselves a spot in the sun, near some water we can call our own, and do a garden.
So, my daughters have called me out on the Roger Miller binge I've been on.
Obviously, he's a no-account drunk, a dissipated scoundrel, and an evil example for young folks, all rolled up in one big stogie you can smell a block away.
Actually, I was wondering about my fascination with his songs from since I was oh maybe ten years old.
So here it is. I had been planning to just hike outta my childhood problems someday, and he just made it sound fun and look possible.
Another song I like is in the movie "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?". The one about Big Rock Candy Mountain. I don't suppose many of you know where that is. It's at the end of the Central Utah railroad spur down by Antimony and Circleville.

So, folks. . . .
I did this crazy trip with my wife and kids. We went to Reno on business. Left Salt Lake at nine A.M. and said hello to Log in Sparks, for a little while. No chess board on board though. Then down to Carson City, stopped there an hour, and drove on down to Bishop CA that night.
US 395 is an awesome highway, even in the dark. The weather had been warm if stormy, but at 7000 ft there was snow, and at 8200 feet more than a foot of it. The road was restricted on one lane on account of a forest fire caused by high winds and downed power lines.
The next day we made it to LA and did our business there and turned up I-15. I'd usually do a trip like this myself, but my wife was feeling sorry for me on account of how miserable I've been feeling the past few weeks. Now I feel sorry for her. When she gets tired the whole world caves in. Me, I could just pull off the road anywhere and sleep a few hours and be fine.
So we saw the lake bed of Owens lake, and the wastelands created by Los Angeles building the canal to convey all the water from the back side of the Sierras to town. In December I drove up I-5 and saw Pelosi's Desert. . . . mile upon mile of barren land obviously once in fields, sporting an occasional weed. There were signs blaming it all on Pelosi, others blaming it all on Feinstein, and futile attempts to convince people from LA and San Diego that they were just as big losers for Congress' unconstitutional appropriation of private water without compensation, because food costs more.
Another item in the news is the price of eggs. CA's dummiedem legislature passed a law requiring egg farmers to keep hens in bigger cages. Ya gotta know, those places don't hire blonde maidens to carry baskets around the henhouse and gently pick up all the eggs. No sirree. Eggs are laid in tiny basins, and then roll down tubes onto conveyor belts where a few workerss size them and shunt them off to the carton packing machines.
If you're in the egg business, and you have to rebuild the whole henhouse, with longer chutes for collecting eggs and longer belts for getting them cartooned up, well. . . . your eggs will just cost about double what they did before. So in order to "save" the egg farmers in CA, after bankrupting about half of them and cutting production to less than a third what it was, the genius CA dummiedem legislators passed a law that nobody can ship eggs to CA lessin' they have cages approved and inspected by CA bureaucrats to CA legal requirements.
And that's why your eggs now cost $4/Dozen plus.
I'm wondering how many "green" or "natural" egg producers with small operations not using insecticides, antifungals, and antibiotics. . . you know. . . . those folks who do pay blonde maidens to go get the eggs out from under the fat hens in the henhouse. . . . were put outta business by the CA regulations. Funny how the legislators keep falling for every damn idea some big cartel whispers in their ears about how to make the world a kinder, gentler sort of place, convincing them to impose rules on everyone nobody can afford to follow except a few very large operations. . . cartels. . . who just know competition is the root of the evil of low prices.
Well, anyway. We need desal water, and free humans who will stand up for their rights to make good use of their hands, their lands, their water, their resources. . .. so we can really dump the cartels, and live better lives without them.

I'll consider it a milestone to hit any rep cap do-gooder site managers ever impose upon their peasant posters. . .
Furthermore, when that happens, I'll talk about.
it, too.brag about. . .
