I know it's a scientific fact that alcohol's a depressant but .... that vodka thing you showed me made for a rather pleasant experience. And, that Guitar Hero game rocks. :)

**** guitar hero. If these kids spent half the time learning to play a real musical instrument instead of some silly assed game they'd have a skill to enjoy the rest of their lives instead of a year or two.

Welcome to the Party Neubob.  There are very few people who understand it.

The inept write the laws.  The incapable gain power to take money they haven't earned.



I can't picture it going on too much longer.  Often have I considered how it will end.  I sometimes joke about voting Democrat just to have a reason to start the revolution sooner.  But part of me is serious.

When the end comes it may be neither quick nor glamorous. Wish for it I would not.

When you consider the worst sin that can be committed, even worse then murder, is taking something you have not earned, you would believe it worth it as well.

And being a student of History, I fully understand what is needed for a successful revolution.

I just want everyone to be happy. And if not everyone, then as many as possible... Maybe vodka was a bad call before making this post, though.

A revolution in this country wouldn't be pretty or easy for anyone. There would likely be much death, suffering, and sorrow with no one spared.

Yes.  I've never taken any classes besides Engineering.  Not even the mathematics, physics, chemistry prerequisites...

A tequila rant from me would include a lot of gagging, hence my staunch adherence to the the 'little water' (vodka) derived demagoguery.

I'm sorry, LS, taking the minimum required history courses to get to your E degree does not a history guru make. But don't feel bad, though. Vic Hansen has a PhD in it and all he can do is try to use it to push agenda.

Nice try, though. :aok

I thought of some Vietnam Vets' that were living under a Freeway overpass, when you said that.

I'd hazard to say, Nuebob, that with all the people just in America, what is it, over 300 million now?...You're bound to have some that can't seem to make it by, no matter what. Just statistics, and the law of averages', I suppose. Crap, If you listed all of the things that could befall someone to lead them to financial and social ruin, the list is kinda long. Guys' lose everything, even their Drivers' license, In a divorce, because alimony+child support is so high. It makes you wonder about what you gotta do to avoid it.

I'll admit there's plenty of people who ruin themselves. They get hooked on drugs like Crack, Heroin, Crystal Meth, they just can't control their drinking, things' like that. There's also those that take risky financial gambles', like putting up they're house against a loan to start a business that fails, or over-extend they're credit on other things. Maybe they hook up with someone who takes everything they have, and dump them, and they think all the time they're in "love"...I dunno, there's a long list of stupidity that leads' to ruin. But keep in mind, Things can suddenly take a turn for the worse, and people lose everything, No matter how hard they work.

I have nothing but sympathy for those few that are legitimately ****ed, used up and discarded by the system. I think that charity is a wonderful human instinct, and worthy of continuation.

My true gripe is with those that rise the system into chronic mediocrity, having never suffered, risked, sweated or wanted for something greater.

And Arlo, I changed it to cards. As much as I sometimes want to be british, I have to be realistic

I see your point there, Nuebob-Only this time, I thought of the SS# stealing, Under-the-table working, taking advantage of every Taxpayer-funded program that they leech off of, type of person. They usually have two houses-one somewhere up north of the Rio Grande, and the La Casa in Sonora, or Michuoacan...And I realize that the first SS check they got with someone else's card probably payed the coyote's fees' to get them up here. And they talk about it to their friends, right in front of us, and they laugh about it, because they know that not very many of us speak spanish, And we can't understand them.

In that context, I could fully understand your first post.
