yes, i wrote a paper on that when I was 17 years old! We lived in the city and were a gun free home, but it was a no brainer to all of us that things do not have agency.

nor the people -- or enough of the people. too many despise the very men (and women) who pledge their minds, hearts, and souls to the protection of this country.

ack! that never occurred to me! so wrong.

my kid walked away from 2 scholarships -- we are very supportive of anyone who walked away from the military since 2015. most people who left recognize it is very difficult to serve your country when it is run by traitors. (regardless of what you think of trump, there are plenty of traitors in senior positions-- not referencing him).

love your attitude. disney's obsession with children is honestly the first clue. as my husband says about men who cater to other people's kids, "it's not normal."

we've been programmed.

i remember when that happened. my mom was dying of cancer, i was not doing well in life and as far removed from understanding government shenanigans as you can imagine. no civic sense at all. it happened practically in my back yard-- a little over an hour's drive.

we talked a good game -- how horrible (not for long tho), but as a people we did NOTHING! these are the things i ask forgiveness for.

Not a leap if you follow the physicians who are concerned about VAIDS. What changed in the military? Why is HIV being treated differently all of a sudden? Advertising, news articles and now the military.

VAIDS is a chronic illness. How can you be considered fit for duty if you have HIV? is it fine until they have full blown AIDS?

imagine if there was no minimum wage and taxes were capped at 5% -- based on consumption and not earnings. We would be sooooooo much wealthier as a nation! The obsession with money and material things would be less pervasive (always there, of course) because the ability to earn enough for simple living would be greater.

thank you. i have lived in all settings -- city, suburb, and rural. back to rural and by far it is my favorite.

at the very least, finding a meat source is the most important.

I'm fairly comfortable with the idea of bartering what we grow for what we can't and are surrounded by cattle and deer. not too many people due to the weather :).

put your money into some kind of hard asset -- otherwise, the $ won't have much value when the dollar tanks or digital becomes mandatory.

Thank you for that. We just switched to cheapo Hill's coffee. We don't have too many vices left. If I lived in the city I would try to hook up wiht the closest rural community and see if anyone wants to sell meat, eggs, canned goods -- something like that.

have worked with men and women who were victims. they are the biggest critics of ppl who follow the path of the victimizer. If you've been on the receiving end, how can you do that??
