i guess hillbillies aren't so stupid

Friends:

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar

Let's move on...

No!

I still have plenty of Popcorn.

exactly.

[Nestor]

Yeah, I just hope you don't make a fight of it, that's what I mean, no problem.

Greg loves this country because we stole it fair and square by murdering the inhabitants and then kidnapping Africans to ship here, own as slaves and build up the economy.

Odd that in my entire life every single person I have met has no relatives who owned slaves or killed Indians. Perhaps this displaced aggression and guilt stems from Braincell having relatives who owned and bred with African slaves, then ran off to mate further with Choctaw or Cherokee since he is from the South.
So I sympathize for you for not fitting into society anywhere.
I think most of the Slave owners were killed 148 years ago, and many other people died to try and right a wrong.
I really hope you get the proper treatment.
For years you have been entertaining with your frothing, but I really think you have progressed to a stage where proffessional help is needed.

Egypt and Rome were built by slaves and had slavery for centuries longer than early America had. Romans and Europeans in general killed everything they saw and had more wars than we ever had, but we are catching up.
Perhaps you might move to the Arctic Circle where your guilt and anger can subside as you watch the Penguins and play Ledger free Piano ala solo.

awesome.

I would be scared to live in the States today, because of all the repression and all, but God…, how I love you people! I really love and empathize entirely with Americans, this has happened the whole of my life. Wherever I have met with Americans it has been a joy for both sides. As I have said many times through the years in the Z, what I most like about USA, is it’s people and its culture.

Now, if we go to the government side of things, it is the most sinister of them all in the whole of the world, coupled together with dark England.

[garyb]

well, it is a British colony....

[siriusbliss]

The U.S. government isn't even our government anymore.

But anyways...
I've been gradually meeting my new 'hillbilly' neighbors.
One is a classic wood-worker who builds fine furniture from reclaimed and downed wood. Beautiful stuff. Just bought a whole dining room set with bar stools for cheap.
Another neighbor has chickens and goats, and has offered to let his goats graze in my back yard so that they eat all the poison oak.
So, plenty of good-willed resourceful folks up here in the hills.

[garyb]

that's how it works in the real world.

[dawman]

Yes the real world that the authorities hope you never discover.
Then you wouldn't need their protection, or assistance.
They prefer to screw everything up, so they can stay longer to fix their fuck ups, in hopes no one will notice, then they can skate with tons of cash and be heralded as Heroes of the people.

Really cool interchange with people so

Birds have freedom. People do not. That is a tragedy. Everyone is so used to this way of life, they accept it as the way things should be but it is not at all natural.

The Walnuts now have there freedom too...yeah!!!

[dawman]

He's not fat enough to be a Lake Tahoe squirrel. They eat pounds of Pine Nuts from the largest soccer ball sized Pine Cones I ever saw.
We could actually make freesh Pint Nut Florentine dinners from walking outside the Room and grabbing 3-4 of these huge Soccer Balls for the Pine Nut Sauce. Grill the meat and cook the pasta in the room. Tasty stuff.

The Walnuts being stolen means nothing to the consumer as they will still make it to market.

Since the LA Times has too many stenographers on their payroll and plenty of pages from their lack of real investigative reporting, we get unfinished stories like these.

Gangsters in Scaramento have insurance for Crops, I believe it is mandatory, as lest you might have a fire and lose all of your crops, that's the way the Mafia works.
Like our new Health Care you're not suppose to like it, you're suppose to buy it.

But this "coverage" is passed onto to the tax payer like the national Flood insuracne.
La Familia makes Bank when there's no flooding, and when it does flood the tax payers make sure they get paid a year later after going broke from re location costs.

My guess is that the Mexican Mafia has crews of earners out there looking to score. They just let the peasants harvet the crops, then they steal them. Framers get paid via subsidies by taxpayers, added costs also get passed along, the Mexican Mafia is happy , and Jerry Brown and the gangsters in Sacramento have the green light to steal more revenue,
Everyones happy...

[hubird]

it seems nut prices are high because of China as new buyer market.
this attracks thieves or mafia.

it's an evolutionary thing to remember: protect your nuts

I really love and empathize entirely with Americans, this has happened the whole of my life.

My 2 favourites Americans are a) Chester Nimitz - otherwise we Aussies might all be eating sushi as our national dish now and b) Jimmy Buffet whose staff makes the best hamburgers I've ever eaten.

Its all about food.

[dawman]

I am honored to hear Aussies learned about a very pivotal role Nimitz played in the Pacific.
Coral Sea was just to show the Japanese that US Carriers had the speed and nuts to protect their allies, unlike our current Poll Readers.
But Midway was a complete stroke of genius that broke the back of the Imperial Navy.
All of this took place in 9 month period and having family including my father who fought in the Pacific, we learned the names of the enemies, the allies, the Generals and Admirals, the battles, etc.

These days our Union Schools are basicially day care centers where students are watched, teachers lose half of their pay to the Federal Unions, and the politicians get lots of campaign cash for favorable legislation like knocking off Charter Schools that cost less, teach better and graduate a higher percentage of students.
It's all about the money even when they say it's not.

Hat's off to the Aussies that watched skies and spied throughout New Guinnea and Rabaul too.
History never really tells about the off the books guys that really tipped the scales in the air campaigns over the south pacific.

My Dad served in New Guinea as a map maker for artillery. Allied arial photographers dropped photographs and they would make the maps soon after surveyance packages hit the ground. One night after drinks his platoon stumbled upon an abandoned church with an old piano. He entertained the comrades by tinkling the ivories and downing lager, just like in the movies.

They liked his toons so encouraged him to take up music which he did as soon as WW2 ended. Hence probably one of my biggest influencing factors towards music - and studying WW2.

Midway was genius but not pure genius - the Jap commander screwed up by taking the wrong decision about re-arming his planes, and the second wave of US dive bombers caught him out after the first US wave were absolutely spanked by the Zeros.

A bit of luck there as well. I'll give the yanks Coral Sea though - that was a good show.

Wildcats kinda sucked against zeroes... The real stroke of genius by the US was making Hellcats that looked the same but had ooooh so much more horsepower, the zeroes tried to lure them into vertical stalls but ended up stalling first and getting creamed.

[dawman]

But Fletchers decision to launch early caused Nagumo to re arm with anti ship armaments, and sadly the first wave was decimated, but while his fighter cover was brought down the Dive Bombers made it through, so it was luck too, but placing the Carriers in harms way were strategically placed from breaking the JN Code and that decision set the board.
Chance favors the prepared mind....

Loved hearing about Pops tickiling the Ivories.
Imagine if they would have had battery powered drum machines and hand held devices.

One thing I learned was gathering intelligence helped in the battle I had with Las Vegas agents which I have bypassed for years now. I returned from Japan with the first wireless USB pocket HDD, and when visiting an agent downloaded the spreadsheets while our cute singer was showing him her red corvette we used for our Bio.
We learned about double booking and just what lying weasals these dirtbags were, also what jobs wanted us even though he was using us in Wendover and his shittiest jobs to make his agency look better.

[dante]

From memory, the story of JN crack goes something like this : US Intellegence organised Midway to send false messages about being short of water. When the Japs started nattering on airwaves about 'location x' that was short of water, the alies used the keys 'water' and knowing that 'location x' = 'midway' as cyphers to start cracking the rest of JN.
