Yep. You would be on AoCs list pretty quick.

😄

@linuxace But, ya, I do sometimes think that americans should be reminded what their founding fathers fled from. Because america is steaming full speed ahead into the same bloody mess that created the declaration in the first place.

Please note that when my kindsmen boarded the boat, they did so as humiliated subjects of the local Lord. When they stepped off the boat, they were free men.

Try to imagine what that flag meant to them?

I would say it is about half and half. Half are trying to slow it down and the other half are trying to speed it up. Worried that is going to cause a civil war. People have been hoarding guns and ammo for the last 10-months (but is really been going on for about a decade.

well, you know Jeffersons words...

Yep liberty tree, blood of tyrants and partriots. All that jazz.

If the tree of liberty is thirsty...

It seems to be.

I'll take a single individual with a vested interest in my productivity vs a 150 million headed master who won't spare 10 minutes each to even know the voting record of the people they're electing.

That's why many of the founders didn't want popular elections.

Its a dangerous thing.

There are a lot of people that go singing to the polls to vote for their own destruction.

Trolls blocked

My way of blocking outside interference

and uncomfortable truths.

Nice Doc, not heard of that group before.

swedes

They are getting added to my wishlist.

playlist

variable quality, but not the worst.

Ehh. You can have a better quality mix and a worse quality song. I prefer better quality music.

Im actually more of a classical music person...and Cash of course. 😄

But your comment on people electing their way down, made me think of that song.

Yeah? I love Stravinsky and Gustav Mahler. The other European band I've been listening to lately is Heilung.

Very nice.

On the topic of election, have you heard The death and funeralmach of Siegfried?

from Wagners the ring.

Siegfried symbolizes honesty and bravery. He is killed as the prelude to the doom.

in other words wagner composed music for the death of europe.

Oh yeah. Wagner is good. Love the orchestration in The Ring Cycle.

reading Spengler to Götterdämmerung, while drinking Cabernet is the perfect Triad. 😄

jesus...now I sound like Frasier Crane...

Europe has changed a lot since I've been there. There are places I used to frequent in Germany, Belgium, and France where westerners aren't welcome anymore.

Those countries no longer exist. The EU denationalization politics did them in in 25 years.
