There is a brown and white Guernsey Cow mailbox around here. The Guernsey breed of moo cow gives 13% more cream in the milk. Everybody can buy one and continue to argue via regular mail when we are unplugged for non-payment of the electric utilities bills.
Getting informed too much? Moderation. sing.
Maybe. Go Back to the Cotton Fields Back Home?
Thanks for the music leads~ bamage on spoons.
R.M.Patriot on washboard with thimbles and forks.
I like de`Ladies with black Earth under the fingernails.
They are not dorks. They have toes smelling of morels.
When Christians, or self-appointed judges yell at me, "foul"...
The best thing to do is spray Lysol under each armpit and the legs.
Who isn't bereft of clean clothes? Soap is more expensive than cheap booze.
The social worker assigned to my case said~You appear Goth at community events.
Then. Ask the 'do-goodies' folk to sin more? Invade Rome and plead ignorant? huh.
Well, Happy Mom Day. I'll mail Glenn a first regular mail letter. One day in a rash-mood, (itching) I e-mailed Glenn one Shepperd Potato Pie recipe. I can't even et into my own e-mail. There was 1800 unopened e-mails the last time I looked. The e-mail to Glenn was around Saint Patrick's Day. I may write a paper-trail letter to Glenn and ask him and if attorney's make lots of money? I'll ask him to ask Mona to write a ghost book as a second career to scare the haters of penguins. Also : Stop yelling at moms for bringing different sorts of people into the world. Diversity is great. Fellow blogger can skip and don't need to ask permission to be here, read, or exist in the world. Be unique : No ask the readers permission. sthu! ok. I remember reading each finger print, dna, voice tone, and personal thought realm is unique and rare.
The vision one shares may save a Life? A world that is out of kilter needs variety and diversity. It's good to network for peace.
By your answer it would appear you think I don't. But then you don't seem too intent on enlightening me, so I guess it wouldn't be worth my asking.
Go and read some of my previous letters, every regular here knows what I'm talking about and they are all extremely tired of hearing about it.. To the point that I've been told to shut up and/or go away many times.
But it's beyond me how you think this attitude will help your feeling that you are in an anechoic box.
There are some cultural artifacts that many people will intellectually disagree with but which they accept without question emotionally.
If you push too hard against these cultural artifacts, even though people may agree with you intellectually the emotions start to run high against you because you violate their emotional acceptance.
1) Pedinska: No, it was not my joke; I love it as I am a cat owner but it is the wife's property. Well, the great George Booth did creat the cartoon first so I guess he gets a little credit.
2) Mona, "real libertarians" respect the nonaggression principle. This leads to believing in self-ownership and laissez-faire. Libertarians believe in individual conscience and individual choice, and reject the use of force or fraud to compel others except in response to force or fraud.
Stanford University claims the following:
Libertarianism is often thought of as “right-wing” doctrine. This, however, is mistaken for at least two reasons. First, on social—rather than economic—issues, libertarianism tends to be “left-wing”. It opposes laws that restrict consensual and private sexual relationships between adults (e.g., gay sex, non-marital sex, and deviant sex), laws that restrict drug use, laws that impose religious views or practices on individuals, and compulsory military service. Second, in addition to the better-known version of libertarianism—right-libertarianism—there is also a version known as “left-libertarianism”. Both endorse full self-ownership, but they differ with respect to the powers agents have to appropriate unappropriated natural resources (land, air, water, etc.). Right-libertarianism holds that typically such resources may be appropriated by the first person who discovers them, mixes her labor with them, or merely claims them—without the consent of others, and with little or no payment to them. Left-libertarianism, by contrast, holds that unappropriated natural resources belong to everyone in some egalitarian manner. It can, for example, require those who claim rights over natural resources to make a payment to others for the value of those rights. This can provide the basis for a kind of egalitarian redistribution.
The best known early statement of (something close to) libertarianism is Locke (1690). The most influential contemporary work is Nozick (1974).
I am happy with any libertarian that respects the nonaggression principle entirely and without exception. That always means anti-war, no? I fail to see how the doctrine of nonaggression will ever lead to tyranny as some fools have proposed.
3) lwm: No, not this thread. It was a pleasant thread and mainly on topic except for the examination of certain equipment. I see not reason for you to destroy it today. Go play with your sock-puppets.
4) Arch; I think with some guys you should ask first, "do you believe in live and let live as a general principle"? If the answer is no then you have a totalitarian on your hands. Still, there will be debates even if a man is a "live and let live" kind of guy since how to best accomplish that goal is a hard problem for many.
5) My mother: said she is going to vote Democratic this year. That means the Republicans are toast since she has not voted Demo since Carter. (still mad at him over the hostages)
6) I got no six, I just like to end on even numbers. This may explain why I find the 'trinity' wrong. :-)
Notice LWM wrote unrebuttled? He wants to say something that needs not be unrebuttled? Unbuttered?
He must be fishing at the dock? You gotta admit he cuts and paste some interesting reads. My computer is as slow as a garden slug. It's helps to have the LWM`sysprogs and company LTD.
At the fishing hole for bass, cats, perch, or what... One needs bait. The trolls or humans who are paid to disrupt and spurt any old crap are this~; It's a new apprentice program. A version of a Noble or a Pulitzer?

~; The person is hired to bait. He/She needs to learn to bait fish hooks.
~; The troll becomes a master. She/He becomes esteemed at the GOP HQT's?
~; The award ceremony is a trophy. But Not for a big fish. It's an adept recognition.
~; The award is given and called a Master-Baiter recognition. A masturbation skill?
