Lonely bump~~~

[Mercuria]

Logged off...then logged back on...you just looked so alone in here!!

BUMP!!!

[backhoe]

Hello, Mercuria! Thanks for the bump to my lonely little post....

I wish more people would go to Charlie Smith's Softwar! site and see all the "stuff" he has- most from our own government(!)- showing all the breeches of security, threats from foreign powers, endangerments to our liberties....

[B4Ranch]

Thanks for link, friend.

[backhoe]

Thanks for looking!

[Mercuria]

Sheesh...I bookmarked it, but looks like it'll take some time to read!!!

[backhoe]

Softwar! is one of the worst-organized sites I've ever seen!

I have pleaded for some kindly Web Wizard to redesign it for Charlie, but so far, no luck. You either have to know exactly what to look for, or spend a long time browsing.

It's a pity because he has so much info about our ( ruined ) national security that it will give you bad dreams....

-he's got great stuff! so there ya go, another plug.

Of course, if one single person disagrees with one single article there, that automagically means the entire website is verbotten and tinfoil hat, LOL alert.

Of course, part deux, have yet to see the "approved" list permanently posted here anyplace of exactly which media outlets and writers are "acceptable" and which are not, either. So far, every single media outlet and writer is "not to be trusted" and etc, so I am a little confuseth why anything keeps getting posted from anyplace. Like, why bother? Even any ordinary freeper's personally reported local breaking news is "unacceptable", they get jumped on and roundly condemned within 15 seconds, by thoroughly indignant and righteously outraged guardians of the publics morality and decency, until it's backed up by..yet again, another UN-acceptable mass media outlet which is "liberal biased, anyone can see that"!

Man, you're right about softwar.
Time to go back, drop the bucket and the outriggers, and see what comes up next.
