No joke Amigos, is anyone still hopeful that rationality still has a chance in our lifetimes? Worldwide the numbers of people who either don't give a shit or are willing subjects for autocracy are not only already too many but are growing rapidly. Seems to me that the time is ripe to sell our recycling containers to the still gullible and accept reality.

I like it! Hillary is totally what we need at this critical juncture. Where can I send a few bucks? My biggest fear now is the country going down the tubes and I'm no longer around to see it. She'll get the job done, for sure.

That's hilarious. Thanks.

I'm not want to look at how super billionaires do the lords work on earth as a way to calm my concerns about how they are able to accumulate such disproportionate wealth. Suffice to say what good they do is certainly minimal in context and probably entirely tax deductible at the same time. I'm with you that all anger needs be to directed at policy makers, not the current beneficiaries. Of course that means no change.

All important points worthy of recognition and recital as the miserable bastard is dragged to the hangin' tree. The one thing that would help make the rest of us feel better, cause it ain't jealousy over his money don't you know, would be if stock used to acquire another company was heavily taxed at transfer and something similar to a property tax was levied on stock gains on stock held instead of capital gains tax at stock sale. Losses of course would need to be deductible. Also, we get to use his yacht sometimes.

Had dinner with a lovely couple from Austin, Tx last night. I'm telling you that there is Blue in Texas.

Yessir!

As far as I know they never saw it coming. One less bell to answer. One less tree to cut down....

We're On the Beach now, seems to me. Hoping for an attenuation of any of the offenses against us, much less a saving reversal, is just wishful thinking. Most definitely we should try hard to understand why things are as they are but that will never change the outcome. In a way we're a very lucky bunch: name another civilization that was able, so clearly, to see the end.

Jumpers prove every election they don't give a shit. Let's just fade the idea of fragmented representation and hire people for money to do the job. Ed Scott will attest that I've hammered him more than hugged him, and I also think his C182 drop zone agenda is flawed. That aside he is spot on about our having too many elected officials. I wish him success.

The power to decide someone should not post here defines your limitations. This one is on you, Wendy.

Then why not 20 National Directors? Ed is right that there are too many special interest voices governing USPA. In terms of membership percentages no one votes for them so who needs or wants them?

8 less opinions and 8 less folks governing in potential conflict of interest.

I could have raised the specter of in male voting.

If Harris were elected which specific harms do you imagine will be her real agenda that might justify panicked fleeing? Are you concerned we all might be woked to death? Will there be forced, and anonymous, Gay marriage? Will all urinals be replaced by toilet stalls? Will men be forced to wait, regardless of how many guys are in line, the same amount of time to take a leak as women at any public entertainment? Pretty much anything she will hope for but not accomplish as President won't impact the survivability of our democracy. Trump? Not so. I will certainly not sell everything and run for it but I'll damn sure spend less time in the continental US.

I'd like to know what positive outcome you see as possible even if either party ran Winsor's ideal candidate to victory. It's not Liberals vs. Conservatives anymore; it's the Judiciary vs. the Citizenry. That specifically includes the DOJ. The new Supreme Court has only started raking us over the coals and our new AG, apparently, either can't read a calendar or is more concerned about his legacy than the erosion of our democracy. And, like Ginsburg, Breyer seems intent on hanging around to guarantee another hard right religious nutcase on the Supreme Court. The sad, simple fact is that the left doesn't know how to wield power to win elections or get specific results. We're already toast.

Easy Brother, I'm thinking Sir Winsor is without even his imaginary friend by now.

Given that you can't be less of a skydiver perhaps there is another opportunity on offer.

Relax. We're all hoping you're first to 1000 likes no matter how often you post everywhere.

So you reply with three more digs, a suggestion on a better way to live, and a cherry on top question about his intellectual integrity. Good boy.

I'm you and I don't bark that shit since I got me a firing pin. That reminds me that I don't have any ammo because of you.

That's a fact. Of course we're more inclined to violent defense.

It was a day and age when dueling was normalized, much like school shootings today.

Certainly not from lack of trying. Glad you're well, if still unhappy. Welcome back!
