Turtle, you sly amphibian, that would be "alluded to" ... I'm sure you set this trap for the grammar nazis. Ain't no biggie.

.. another War of Northern Aggression? Haven't they heard the first one remains unsettled?

OVM... which status quo would you advocate? The Antebellum status quo? Or the 1950's? Or the 1980's? The "status quo" isn't static for very long. It changes over time. The zeitgeist of the moment is all about Obama. That will pass too. America belongs to the American people. It does...

What I know for sure wouldn't fill a thimble. *L*

I think the government is already the nation's largest employer. When taken altogether to include federal employees, state, city and county government employees. I don't have the figures, but suspect the number of folks working directly for government plus the number receiving public...

Hedonism has a large following. It's the easy choice.

I have an uneasy feeling our nation is 4 to 6 months away from very real social unrest. These band-aid solutions from Bush and now Obama only buy a little more time. At some juncture, China will stop funding our debt and call in their markers. Then what? Also, the oil speculators of 2005...

IRT... Just keep on doing your own thing. When you post an opinion, 50% may immediately agree or disagree. It's human nature. What matters is a large percentage get your point. You always make me think. BTW, your admonition about maintaing good physical health is right on target...

Beautiful landscapes and scenery. Hunting and fishing in the American West. A love triangle (or quadrangle) underscores the entire plot. Life interrupted by war. War interrupted by life. Most interesting to me was the fanatical bond of family loyalty portrayed by patriarch Anthony Hopkins...

I bought the DVD thinking I would watch it again. Ten minutes into the second viewing, I had to stop. It's an emotional nuclear bomb. Just couldn't take what was coming.

Hockey sticks to Boston. 500 plastic buckets (Red Cross supplies) to Lady Lake,Florida after a hurricane. 4 tires to a Toyota test track in Arizona desert. Last week, a one pound envelope of newspaper inserts to Wisconsin. Never know what's next. That's part of the fun.

jaminjim... it bothers me as well. I fear a lynch mob mentality runs amok here sometimes. Old feuds and vendettas play out. Whenever I point out what seems to be excessive piling-on of an EO member, they turn the heat towards me. Oh well. I learned alot from Greg and Leo about the technical...

In fairness, I went back and read the entire thread from Nov 2008. Eye-opening to say the least. Your point is duly noted.

When did the facts become relevant?

Revisionism. Backpedaling. Back and fill. (All part of the craft of its practitioners).

Prima facie case of piling-on. Vicious, venomous vitriol. Unseemly.

The Rev and LDB can defend themselves quite ably. My disgust was with the piling-on.

Only when conservative rightwing ideaology is the universally accepted orthodoxy will our work be done. Please... to the Soapbox.

Ankle biting is a proud tradition in some circles. But, the reference to "crack" is interesting. Educate me.

LDB is a force to be reckoned with. The same clique of ankle-biters who ambush the Rev should take pause to consider their treatment of others. These orchestrated attacks don't go unnoticed. It's the same cabal over and over. I hope Leo visits here regularly. His voice is needed as a...
