It’a a mainstream Republican.....no aim, no goal, incapable of shedding of excess baggage.

That part fits too, which is why I included it, it was just that the other was first on my list.
I grew up on a farm, farmed for many years and learned to take satisfaction when I’ve done a good job.

Can’t speak for all of Asia, but I enjoyed the few days I spent in Kao-hsiung.
My dad mostly liked the times he spent in Asia, except for those times when the Japanese, Koreans/Commie Chinese and Vietnamese were trying to kill him...

I don't think my dad enjoyed the Phillipines (WWII), Korea or Vietnam, for various reaons. All different. While he didn't actually fight in Korea, he served there (cold!). There aren't many like him left.

No, not many. When last I heard only about 13,000 surviving vets of those three wars.
The most prized gift I ever got him was a cap that says “Veteran WWII-Korea-Vietnam”.
It is a real door and conversation opener. He loves it.

They truly are the greatest generation.

So far. I still hold out some hope for our kids. Many of them don’t have quite the sense of entitlement the hippy generation has. Nor the illusion that we can love our enemies into loving us.

I'm so conservative my kids may turn out to be flaming liberals! Yikes.

a lot like my dear departed mother who was a child of the depression and WWII and couldnt bring herself to throw any thing away.My aunt was the same way. I just thought she was senile. Maybe it was a product of living through some REALLY hard times.

My unstudied guess is that they are used when the bacteria wants to rapidly reproduce and form many copies of itself.
